INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROLS INTRODUCTION s section describes the various plant instrumentation and control systems and the ctional performance requirements, design bases, system descriptions, design luations, and tests and inspections for each. The information provided in this chapter phasizes those instruments and associated equipment which constitute the protection tem, as defined in IEEE Standard 279-1971, "IEEE Standard: Criteria for Protection tems for Nuclear Power Generating Stations."
instrumentation and control systems provide automatic protection and exercise per control against unsafe and improper reactor operation during steady state and sient power operations (Conditions I and II) and to provide initiating signals to gate the consequences of emergency and faulted conditions (Conditions III and IV).
S conditions are discussed in Chapter 15.0.
licable criteria and codes are listed in Table 7.1-2.
.1 IDENTIFICATION OF SAFETY-RELATED SYSTEMS ety-related instrumentation and control systems and their supporting systems are se systems required to ensure:
- a. The integrity of the reactor coolant pressure boundary.
- b. The capability to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition.
- c. The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which could result in potential offsite exposures comparable to the guideline exposures of 10 CFR 100.
definitions provided below are used to classify the instrumentation systems into the egories defined for Chapter 7.0 by Regulatory Guide 1.70.
sting of these systems, by categories, that are comparable to those of nuclear power nts of similar design is given in Table 7.1-1. Table 7.1-1 also identifies the systems t are different with references to discussions of those differences.
plant's control and instrumentation systems are grouped into the following egories:
- a. Reactor trip system (RTS) 7.1-1 Rev. OL-20 11/13
- c. Systems required for safe shutdown
- d. Safety-related display instrumentation
- e. Other instrumentation systems required for safety
- f. Systems not required for safety scriptions of the above are given in Sections 7.1.1.1 through 7.1.1.6. Table 7.1-2 ntifies which instrumentation systems are safety related.
.1.1 Reactor Trip System RTS is described in Section 7.2. Figure 7.1-1 is a single-line diagram of this system.
.1.2 Engineered Safety Feature Actuation Systems ESFAS are those instrumentation systems which are needed to actuate the ipment and systems required to mitigate the consequences of postulated design is accidents. The engineered safety features requiring actuation are:
- a. Main steam and feedwater isolation (Sections 6.2.4 and 7.3.7)
- b. Containment combustible gas control (Sections 6.2.5 and 7.3.1)
- c. Containment purge isolation (Sections 6.2.4 and 7.3.2)

- g. Nuclear steam system supply (NSSS) ESFAS (Section 7.3.8) equipment which provides the engineered safety feature actuation functions for the tems listed above is identified and discussed in Section 7.3. Design bases for these ineered safety feature actuation systems are also given in Section 7.3. For auxiliary porting systems, see Section 7.3.8.1.11 and Table 7.3-12.
.1.3 Systems Required for Safe Shutdown tems required for safe shutdown are defined as those essential for pressure and ctivity control, coolant inventory makeup, and removal of residual heat once the 7.1-2 Rev. OL-20 11/13
ording to the shutdown modes defined in Table 1.1-1 of the Callaway Technical cifications.
ntification of the equipment and systems required for safe shutdown is provided in tion 7.4. Additional information regarding hot standby provisions for shutdown from side the control room is also provided in Section 7.4.
.1.4 Safety-Related Display Instrumentation ety-related display instrumentation is instrumentation which provides information for operator to manually perform reactor trip, engineered safety feature actuation, t-accident monitoring or safe shutdown functions.
ntification of the equipment and systems in safety-related display instrumentation is vided in Section 7.5. Description of other indicating systems which provide rmation for monitoring equipment and processes is also provided in Section 7.5.
tion 7.5 and Table 7.5-1 summarize procedures required to maintain the plant in a hot ndby condition, or to proceed to cold shutdown.
.1.5 All Other Instrumentation Systems Required for Safety other instrumentation systems required for safety - other than the RTS, the ESFAS, ety-related display and the safe shutdown systems - are discussed in Section 7.6.
y are those systems and components which have a preventive role in reducing the cts of accidents. Single failures in these systems will not inhibit reactor trip, ineered safety feature actuation, or functions required for safe shutdown. The other rumentation systems required for safety consist of the following:
- a. Instrumentation and control power supply system
- b. Residual heat removal system isolation valve interlocks
- c. Refueling interlocks
- d. Accumulator motor-operated isolation valve interlocks
- e. Emergency core cooling system switchover from injection mode to recirculation mode

- k. Charging pump miniflow interlock
- l. Neutron flux monitoring m a above is described in Section 8.3.1.1.5. Item c is described in Section 9.1.4. The aining items are described in Section 7.6.
.1.6 Control Systems Not Required for Safety ntrol systems not required for safety are those automatic and manual systems igned for the primary purpose of normal load control, startup, and shutdown of the n power generating system. As shown in Section 7.7, malfunctions in these systems not result in unsafe conditions.
.2 IDENTIFICATION OF SAFETY CRITERIA nsiderations for instrument errors are included in the accident analyses presented in apter 15.0. Functional requirements, developed on the basis of the results of the ident analyses, that have utilized conservative assumptions and parameters are used esigning these systems. A preoperational testing program verifies the adequacy of design. Accuracies are given in Sections 7.2, 7.3, and 7.5.
criteria listed in Table 7.1-2 were considered in the design of the systems given in tion 7.1.1. A discussion of compliance with each criterion for systems in its scope is vided in the referenced sections given in Table 7.1-2. Because some criteria were ablished after design and testing had been completed, the equipment documentation y not meet the format requirements of some standards. Justification for any eptions taken to each document for systems in its scope is provided in the referenced tions.
.2.1 Design Bases design bases for the safety-related systems are provided in the respective sections hapter 7.0.
.2.2 Independence of Redundant Safety-Related Systems safety-related systems are designed to meet the independence and separation uirements of GDC-22 and Section 4.6 of IEEE Standard 279-1971.
7.1-4 Rev. OL-20 11/13
uits at the Callaway Plant have physical separation to preserve the redundancy and nsure that no single credible event will prevent operation of the associated function.
ical circuits and functions include power, control, and analog instrumentation ociated with the operation of the safety-related systems. Events considered credible considered in the design include the effects of short circuits, pipe rupture, missiles,
, and earthquake.
.2.2.1 General physical separation criteria for redundant safety-related system sensors, sensing s, wireways, cables, and components on racks meet the recommendations contained egulatory Guide 1.75 with the following comments:
- a. The protection systems use redundant instrumentation channels and actuation trains and incorporate physical and electrical separation to prevent faults in one channel from degrading any other protection channel.
- b. Where no redundant circuits share a single compartment of a safety-related instrumentation rack and these redundant safety-related instrumentation racks are physically separated, the recommendations of Position C.16 of Regulatory Guide 1.75 do not apply.
- c. Redundant, isolated control signal cables leaving the protection racks are brought into close proximity elsewhere in the plant, such as the control board. It could be postulated that electrical faults, or interference, at these locations might be propagated into all redundant racks and degrade protection circuits because of the close proximity of protection and control wiring within each rack. Regulatory Guide 1.75 (Regulatory Position C.4) and IEEE Standard 384-1974 (Section 4.5(3)) provide the option to demonstrate by tests that the absence of physical separation could not significantly reduce the availability of Class 1E circuits.
Westinghouse test programs have demonstrated that Class 1E protection systems (nuclear instrumentation system, solid state protection system, and 7300 process protection system) are not degraded by non-Class 1E circuits sharing the same enclosure. Conformance to the requirements of IEEE Standard 279-1971 and Regulatory Guide 1.75 has been established and accepted by the NRC, based on the following which is applicable to these systems at the Callaway Plant.
Tests conducted on the as-built designs of the nuclear instrumentation system and solid state protection system were reported and accepted by the NRC in support of the Diablo Canyon application (Docket Nos. 50-275 and 50-323). Westinghouse considers these programs as applicable to all plants, including Callaway. Westinghouse tests on the 7300 process 7.1-5 Rev. OL-20 11/13
Control System Noise Tests," subsequently reissued as Reference 1. In a letter dated April 20, 1977 (Ref. 2), the NRC accepted the report in which the applicability to the Callaway Plant is established.
Replacement solid state protection system circuit boards were additionally analyzed and tested to ensure regulatory compliance was maintained as described in References 6, 7, and 8 for the three circuit boards associated with active safety functions.
The Westinghouse 7300 process protection system NCT (channel test) cards used in the four containment pressure High-3 channels for containment spray initiation also provide contacts to non-safety related annunciators to inform the operators when a channel is bypassed for test.
These NCT cards have been analyzed to demonstrate that the non-safety annunciator circuits do not degrade the Class 1E circuits below an acceptable level.
The NCT card is a channel test card typically used in channels that interface only with the SSPS, and, therefore would not normally require isolation. However, for the containment spray circuits, which are energized to actuate, contacts from the NCT card to an annunciator were provided to indicate when a channel was bypassed for test. A qualified isolation device should be used to provide separation by preventing the propagation of electrical faults from non-safety systems. This separation is typically provided by NAI (annunciator interface) cards which have been proven by the testing documented in Reference 1 to be a qualified isolation device.
The NCT cards have not been qualified by testing as isolation devices.
The following analysis supports the use of the NCT cards without NAI cards, or other isolation devices, for this application.
The worst conceivable faults are generalized into three main categories.
One category occurs in the annunciator input and associated circuitry including any short circuit faults. The second category occurs in the cable tray where the maximum possible voltage (120 VAC or 125 VDC) could be applied to the cable conductors and then directly to NCT card contacts.
Lastly, a fault could occur where the contact degrades, increasing the power across the contact.
The maximum power seen by the NCT relay contact due to the contact resistance feeding the annunciator system was calculated to be one (1) watt, well below its ten (10) watt rating. The maximum induced voltage is considered to be of a low enough magnitude and short time duration to not degrade the safety-related circuits.
7.1-6 Rev. OL-20 11/13
occur if the relay contacts on the NCT card which feed the annunciator are closed. For these containment pressure High-3 channels, the contacts are closed only if the card is in test. During normal operation, the contacts are open. Therefore, any type of fault (up to impressing the rated contact voltage or voltage rating of the NCT circuit card traces) could occur and no fault current would flow through the NCT card circuit due to a non-1E circuit fault during normal operation.
Potential damage to the NCT card and its Class 1E circuit would only occur when the card was placed in test. Any damage would occur only in the channel which was placed in test. The other three channels would remain operable. Since the card that potentially fails would have already been authorized to be removed from service, the level of protection would not be reduced. Since the fault would be detected due to an annunciator malfunction when it occurs, the root cause of the failure would be determined and corrected prior to returning the channel to service.
Troubleshooting would identify that potential NCT card degradation had occurred and the affected NCT card would either be replaced or determined to be undamaged and returned to service.
- d. The physical separation criteria for instrument cabinets within the NSSS scope meet the recommendations contained in Section 5.7 of IEEE Standard 384-1974. Compliance with specific positions of Regulatory Guide 1.75 is given in Sections 8.1.4.3 and 8.3.1.4.
.2.2.2 Specific Systems ependence is maintained throughout each system, extending from the sensor through he devices actuating the protective function. Physical separation is used to achieve aration of redundant transmitters. Separation of field wiring is achieved using arate wireways, cable trays, conduit runs, and containment penetrations for each undant protection channel set. Redundant analog equipment is separated by locating dules in different protection rack sets. Each redundant channel set is energized from eparate ac power feed.
re are four separate protection sets. Each protection set contains several channels, h channel sensing a different variable. Separation of redundant analog channels ins at the process sensors and is maintained in the field wiring, containment etrations, and process protection cabinets. Protection sets are formed at the process tection cabinets and transmit the required signals to the redundant trains in the solid e protection system logic racks (Figure 7.1-1). Redundant analog channels are arated by locating modules in different cabinets. Since all equipment within any inet is associated with a single protection set, there is no requirement for separation iring and components within the cabinet. See Section 7.1.2.3 for additional rmation.

The color coding of each process equipment rack nameplate ncides with the color code established for the separation group of which it is a part.
dundant BOP channels are separated by locating them in different equipment inets. Separation of redundant channels begins at the process sensors and is ntained in the field wiring, containment penetrations, and equipment cabinets to the undant trains in the logic racks. The NSSS solid state protection system input inets and the NSSS engineered safety feature actuation systems are divided into ated compartments, each serving one of the redundant input channels. Horizontal 1/

erences to discussions of these regulatory guides are provided in Appendix 3A.
additional discussion of the NSSS conformance to Regulatory Guide 1.22 and E-338 and 379 is given in the following sections.
.2.5.2 Conformance to Regulatory Guide 1.22 iodic testing of the reactor trip and engineered safety feature actuation systems, as cribed in Sections 7.2.2 and 7.3, complies with Regulatory Guide 1.22, "Periodic ting of Protection System Actuation Functions."
ere the ability of a system to respond to a bona fide accident signal is intentionally assed for the purpose of performing a test during reactor operation, each bypass dition is automatically indicated to the reactor operator in the main control room by a arate annunciator for the channel in test. Test circuitry does not allow two channels e tested at the same time so that extension of the bypass condition to the redundant tem is prevented.
actuation logic for the RTS and ESFAS is tested as described in Sections 7.2 and
. As recommended by Regulatory Guide 1.22, where actuated equipment is not ed during reactor operation, it has been determined that:
- a. There is no practicable system design that would permit operation of the actuated equipment without adversely affecting the safety or operability of the plant;
- b. The probability that the protection system will fail to initiate the operation of the actuated equipment is, and can be maintained, acceptably low without testing the actuated equipment during reactor operation; and
- c. The actuated equipment can be routinely tested when the reactor is shut down.
list of equipment that is not tested at full power so as not to damage equipment or et plant operation is:
- b. Main turbine trip system (actual trip)
- c. Main steam isolation valves (actual full closure)
- d. Main feedwater isolation valves (actual full closure) 7.1-12 Rev. OL-20 11/13
- f. Main feedwater pump trip solenoids
- g. Reactor coolant pump seal water return valves (actual full closure)
- h. Eight selected slave relays justifications for not testing the above items at full power are discussed below.
- a. Manual actuation switches for RTS and ESFAS These would cause initiation of their protection system function at power, causing plant upset and/or reactor trip. It should be noted that the reactor trip function that is derived from the automatic safety injection signal is tested at power in the same manner as the other analog signals and as described in Section 7.2.2.2.3. The processing of these signals in the solid state protection system wherein their channel orientation converts to a logic train orientation is tested at power by the built-in semiautomatic test provisions of the solid state protection system. The reactor trip breakers are tested at power, as discussed in Section 7.2.2.2.3.
- b. Main turbine trip system Testing of the main turbine trip function under power operation is discussed in Section 10.2.3.6.
- c. Closing the main steam isolation valves See Table 7.1-3.
- d. Closing the main feedwater isolation valves See Table 7.1-3.
- e. Closing the feedwater control valves The actuation function for these valves and their associated solenoids are routinely tested during refueling outages. To close the valves at power would adversely affect the operation of the plant. The operability of the slave relays which actuate the solenoids is verified at power. The closing of these control valves is blocked when the slave relay is tested. It is noted that the solenoids work on the de-energize-to-actuate principle. The feedwater control valves will fail closed on the loss of electrical power to both of the solenoids.
7.1-13 Rev. OL-20 11/13
control valves meets the guidelines of Regulatory Position D.4 of Regulatory Guide 1.22.
- f. Main feedwater pump trip solenoids No credit is taken for the automatic tripping of the feedwater pumps, and, therefore, this function does not require periodic testing.
- g. Reactor coolant pump seal water return valves Seal water return line isolation valves are routinely tested during refueling outages. Closure of these valves during operation would cause the seal water system relief valve to lift, with the possibility of valve chatter. Valve chatter could damage this relief valve. Testing of these valves at power could cause equipment damage. Therefore, these valves will be tested during scheduled refueling outages. Thus, the guidelines of Regulatory Position D.4 of Regulatory Guide 1.22 are met.
- h. Eight selected slave relays Slave relays K602, K620 (turbine trip circuitry only; main feedwater pump trip solenoid circuitry is excluded as discussed in f above), K622, K624, K630, K740, K741, and K750 and their actuated equipment will be tested at least once per 18 months during refueling and during each cold shutdown exceeding 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> unless they have been tested within the previous 92 days. Justification for the extended test interval is based on plant operational concerns and was presented in detail in References 3 and 5.
.2.6 Conformance to IEEE Standards
.2.6.1 Conformance to IEEE Standard 379-1972 principles described in IEEE Standard 379-1972 were used in the design of the solid e protection system. The system complies with the intent of this standard and the itional guidance of Regulatory Guide 1.53, although the formal analyses have not n documented exactly as outlined. Westinghouse has gone beyond the required lyses and has performed a fault tree analysis (Ref. 4).
referenced report provides details of the analyses of the solid state protection tem previously made to show conformance with the single failure criterion set forth in tion 4.2 of IEEE Standard 279-1971. The interpretation of the single failure criterion vided by IEEE Standard 379-1972 is not substantially different than the Westinghouse rpretation of the criterion, except in the methods used to confirm design reliability.

RTS and ESFAS safety-related systems featuring redundant design provisions. The uired periodic testing of these systems will disclose any failures or loss of redundancy ch could have occurred in the interval between tests, thus ensuring the availability of se systems.
.2.6.2 Conformance to IEEE Standard 338-1971 periodic testing of the RTS and ESFAS conforms to the requirements of IEEE ndard 338-1971 with the following comments:
- a. The surveillance requirements in the Callaway Technical Specifications for the solid state protection system ensure that the system functional operability is maintained comparable to the original design standards.
Periodic tests at the established intervals demonstrate this capability for the system.
- b. Callaways administrative program for the response time testing of the RTS and ESFAS instrumentation meets the requirements of section 6.3.4 of IEEE Standard 338-1977, as clarified below:
For sensors, Callaway performs periodic response time testing or makes use of allocated response times. The methods of testing, when required, fall into two categories as follows:
PRIMARY - For resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), a loop current step response methodology is used as endorsed in NUREG-0809 and described in detail in EPRI report NP-834 (Vol. 1).
- For newly installed pressure sensors or refurbished pressure sensors whose response time may have been adversely affected, the EPRI developed method described in report NP-267 shall be used. This pressure ramp testing is also discussed in ISA dS-67.06. See the Technical Specifications Bases for SR 3.3.1.16 and SR 3.3.2.10.
7.1-15 Rev. OL-20 11/13
noise analysis method which will function on the principle that, in the protection system, sensors are sensitive to process noise created by natural perturbations in variables, including temperature, pressure, and flow. The noise analysis method testing system is designed to measure sensor response time and/or assess degradation by measurement of the sensors' efficiency to detect high-frequency noise.
Nuclear instrumentation detectors are excluded since delays attributable to them are negligible in the overall channel response time required for safety.
The verification of response time at the specified time intervals provides assurance that the protective and engineered safety feature function associated with each channel is completed within the time limit assumed in the accident analyses.
The time response of discrete portions of the system can be measured or allocated, and overall response times can be determined by summing the response times of those discrete components. The wires that connect the discrete components do not necessarily require time response testing since wiring delays are typically insignificant compared with the response times of the individual components.
- c. The reliability goals specified in Section 4.2 of IEEE Standard 338-1971 are consistent with the test frequency in the Callaway Technical Specifications.
- d. The periodic time interval discussed in Section 4.3 of IEEE Standard 338-1971, and specified in the Callaway Technical Specifications, is selected to ensure that equipment associated with protection functions has not drifted beyond its minimum performance requirements. The adequacy of the interval will be verified by results of testing or the interval will be reevaluated on the basis of actual experience.
- e. The test interval discussed in Section 5.2 of IEEE Standard 338-1971 is developed primarily on past operating experience and modified, if necessary, to ensure that system and subsystem protection is reliably provided.

.1 DESCRIPTION
.1.1 System Description reactor trip system (RTS) automatically keeps the reactor operating within a safe ion by shutting down the reactor whenever the limits of the region are approached.
safe operating region is defined by several considerations, such as mechanical/
raulic limitations on equipment and heat transfer phenomena. Therefore, the reactor system keeps surveillance on process variables which are directly related to ipment mechanical limitations, such as pressure, and pressurizer water level (to vent water discharge through safety valves and uncovering heaters), and also on ables which directly affect the heat transfer capability of the reactor (e.g., flow and ctor coolant temperatures). Still other parameters utilized in the reactor trip system calculated from various process variables. Whenever a direct process or calculated able exceeds a setpoint and any applicable trip time delays have expired, the reactor be shut down in order to protect against either damage to fuel cladding or loss of tem integrity, which could lead to the release of radioactive fission products into the tainment.
following systems make up the reactor trip system (see Ref. 1, 2, and 3 for itional background information).
- a. Process instrumentation and control system
- b. Nuclear instrumentation system
- c. Solid state logic protection system
- d. Reactor trip switchgear
- e. Manual actuation circuit reactor trip system consists of sensors that monitor various plant parameters and connected with analog circuitry, consisting of two to four redundant channels, and tal circuitry, consisting of two redundant logic trains, that receives inputs from the log channels to complete the logic necessary to automatically open the reactor trip akers.
h of two logic trains, A and B, is capable of opening a separate and independent ctor trip breaker, RTA and RTB, respectively. The two trip breakers in series connect e-phase ac power from the rod drive motor generator sets to the rod drive power inets, as shown in Figure 7.2-1 (Sheet 2). During plant power operation, a dc ervoltage coil on each reactor trip breaker holds a trip plunger out against its spring, wing the power to be available at the rod control power supply cabinets. For reactor 7.2-1 Rev. OL-20 11/13
, releases the trip plunger and trips open the breaker. When either of the trip akers opens, power is interrupted to the rod drive power supply, and the control rods by gravity, into the core. The rods cannot be withdrawn until the trip breakers are nually reset. The trip breakers cannot be reset until the abnormal condition which ated the trip is corrected. Bypass breakers BYA and BYB are provided to permit ing of the trip breakers, as discussed in Section 7.2.2.2.3.
auto shunt trip design modification has been implemented which monitors the reactor tection system outputs to the reactor trip breakers' undervoltage coils and provides signals to the shunt trip coils upon receipt of an automatic trip signal to the ervoltage coils. This was accomplished by providing a rotary type interposing relay ween the trip breaker undervoltage coil circuit and the shunt trip coil circuit. This auto nt trip relay is energized from the reactor protection system voltage which is provided he undervoltage coil. When the voltage is removed by an automatic reactor trip nal, the auto shunt trip relay will de-energize, closing a contact to energize the shunt coil. Thus, the breaker trip shaft will be actuated by both the undervoltage and shunt attachments. This design modification applies only to the reactor trip breakers; the ass breaker shunt trip coils will not receive an automatic trip signal.
added hardware consists of qualified shunt trip coils and panels which include the ys and test hardware. The shunt trip attachments and auto shunt trip panels are lified in accordance with IEEE Standards 323-1974 and 344-1975. The panels are unted at the reactor trip switchgear.
auto shunt trip panels are provided with two push-button switches for use during iodic on-line testing to independently confirm the operability of the undervoltage and nt trip attachments. The auto shunt trip block push-button switch is used to prevent shunt trip coil from energizing when the undervoltage trip is being tested. The auto nt trip test push-button switch is used to de-energize the auto shunt trip relay, rgizing the shunt trip coil while the undervoltage coil remains energized.
auto shunt trip panels are also equipped with test jacks to facilitate breaker response e testing. These jacks are wired directly to an auxiliary switch contact (closed when breaker is closed) to provide indication that the breaker has tripped. Another set of jacks is connected across the auto shunt trip relay coil through resistors to provide cation of trip initiation. The resistors are provided to ensure that accidental shorts or unds applied through the test points do not result in an inadvertent reactor trip or an rload on the reactor protection system output.
.1.1.1 Functional Performance Requirements reactor trip system automatically initiates reactor trip:
- a. Whenever necessary to prevent fuel damage for an anticipated operational transient (Condition II) 7.2-2 Rev. OL-20 11/13
- c. So that the energy generated in the core is compatible with the design provisions to protect the reactor coolant pressure boundary for limiting fault conditions (Condition IV).
reactor trip system initiates a turbine trip signal whenever reactor trip is initiated to vent the reactivity insertion that would otherwise result from excessive reactor system ldown. This eliminates unnecessary actuation of the engineered safety feature uation system.
reactor trip system provides for manual initiation of reactor trip by operator action.
.1.1.2 Reactor Trips reactor trip circuits automatically open the reactor trip breakers whenever a dition monitored by the reactor trip system reaches a preset level. To ensure a able system, high quality design, components, manufacturing, quality control, and ing are used. In addition to redundant channels and trains, the design approach vides a reactor trip system that monitors numerous system variables, therefore viding protection system functional diversity. The extent of this diversity has been luated for a wide variety of postulated accidents.
le 7.2-1 provides a list of reactor trips that are described below. Table 7.2-2 provides sting of all protection system interlocks which are designated P-(number).
- a. Nuclear overpower trips The specific trip functions generated are as follows:
- 1. Power range high neutron flux trip The power range high neutron flux trip circuit trips the reactor when two out of the four power range channels exceed the trip setpoint.
There are two bistables, each with its own trip setting used for a high- and a low-range trip setting. The high trip setting provides protection during normal power operation and is always active. The low trip setting, which provides protection during startup, can be manually bypassed when two out of the four power range channels read above approximately 10-percent power (P-10). Three out of the four channels below 10 percent automatically reinstate the trip function.
- 2. Intermediate range high neutron flux trip 7.2-3 Rev. OL-20 11/13
when one out of the two intermediate range channels exceeds the trip setpoint. This trip, which provides protection during reactor startup, can be manually blocked if two out of the four power range channels are above P-10. Three out of the four power range channels below this value automatically reinstate the intermediate range high neutron flux trip. The intermediate range channels (including detectors) are separate from the power range channels.
The intermediate range channels can be individually bypassed at the nuclear instrumentation racks to permit channel testing during plant shutdown or prior to startup. This bypass action is annunciated on the control board.
- 3. Source range high neutron flux trip The source range high neutron flux trip circuit trips the reactor when one out of the two source range channels exceeds the trip setpoint.
This trip, which provides protection during reactor startup and plant shutdown, can be manually bypassed when one out of the two intermediate range channels reads above the P-6 setpoint value and is automatically reinstated when both intermediate range channels decrease below the P-6 setpoint value. This trip is also automatically bypassed by two-out-of-four logic from the power range protection interlock (P-10). This trip function can also be reinstated below P-10 by an administrative action requiring manual actuation of two control board mounted switches. Each switch will reinstate the trip function in one out of the two protection logic trains.
The source range trip point is set between the P-6 setpoint (source range cutoff power level) and the maximum source range power level. The channels can be individually bypassed at the nuclear instrumentation racks to permit channel testing during plant shutdown or prior to startup. This bypass action is annunciated on the control board.
- 4. Power range high positive neutron flux rate trip This circuit trips the reactor when a sudden abnormal increase in nuclear power occurs in two out of the four power range channels.
This trip provides DNB protection against certain rod withdrawal at power events and certain partial power, low rod worth, rod ejection accidents (see Sections 15.4.2 and 15.4.8).
Figure 7.2-1 (Sheet 3) shows the logic for all of the nuclear overpower and rate trips.
- b. Core thermal overpower trips 7.2-4 Rev. OL-20 11/13
- 1. Overtemperature T trip This trip protects the core against DNB and trips the reactor on coincidence, as listed in Table 7.2-1, with one set of temperature measurements per loop. The setpoint for this trip is continuously calculated by analog circuitry for each loop by solving the following equation (See Technical Specification Table 3.3.1-1 Note 1 for further details):
( 1 + 1s ) ( 1 + 4s )
T ----------------------- ------------------ T o K 1 - K 2 ----------------------- T avg ------------------ - T avg + K 3 ( P - 2235 ) - f 1 ( I )

( 1 + 2s ) 1 + 3 s 1 + s 1 + s 5 6 Where:
T = measured RCS T, °F To = indicated T at rated thermal power, °F Tavg = measured RCS average temperature, °F o = referenced Tavg at rated thermal power, T avg 585.3°F P = measured pressurizer pressure, psig K1 = preset bias reflecting upper limit (see analysis limit in Table 15.0-4)
K2 = preset gain which compensates for the effects of temperature on the DNB limits K3 = preset gain which compensates for the effect of pressure on the DNB limits 1 through 6 = preset time constants which compensate for piping, instrument, and signal conditioning time delays, seconds s = laplace transform operator, seconds-1 f1(I) = a function of the neutron flux difference between the upper and lower long ion chambers (refer to Figure 7.2-2).
A separate long ion chamber unit supplies the flux signal for each overtemperature T trip channel.

in trip setpoint (refer to Figure 7.2-2).
The required one pressurizer pressure parameter per loop is obtained from separate sensors connected to three pressure taps at the top of the pressurizer. Four pressurizer pressure signals are obtained from the three taps by connecting one of the taps to two pressure transmitters. Refer to Section 7.2.2.3.3 for an analysis of this arrangement.
Figure 7.2-1 (Sheet 5) shows the logic for overtemperature T trip function.
- 2. Overpower T trip This trip protects against excessive power (fuel rod rating protection) and trips the reactor on coincidence, as listed in Table 7.2-1, with one set of temperature measurements per loop.
The setpoint for each channel is continuously calculated, using the following equation (See Technical Specification Table 3.3.1-1 Note 2 for further details):
( 1 + 1s ) 1 7s 1 1 o' T ----------------------- ------------------ T o K 4 - K 5 ------------------ ------------------ T - K 6 T avg ------------------ - T avg - f 2 ( I )
( 1 + 2s ) 1 + 3s 1 + 7s 1 + 6 s avg 1 + 6s Where:
T = measured RCS T, °F To = indicated T at rated thermal power, °F f2(I) = a function of the neutron flux difference between upper and lower long ion chambers (zero for OPDT for all input values)
K4 = a preset bias reflecting upper limit (see analysis limit in Table 15.0-4)
K5 = a constant which compensates for piping and instrument time delay K6 = a constant which compensates for the change in density flow and heat capacity of the water with temperature o' = indicated Tavg at rated thermal power, 585.3 T avg Tavg = measured RCS average temperature, °F 7.2-6 Rev. OL-20 11/13
conditioning time delays, seconds s = laplace transform operator, seconds-1 The source of temperature and flux information is identical to that of the overtemperature T trip, and the resultant T setpoint is compared to the same T. Figure 7.2-1 (Sheet 5) shows the logic for this trip function.
- c. Reactor coolant system pressurizer pressure and water level trips The specific trip functions generated are as follows:
- 1. Pressurizer low pressure trip The purpose of this trip is to protect against low pressure which could lead to DNB. The parameter being sensed is reactor coolant pressure as measured in the pressurizer. Above P-7, the reactor is tripped when the pressurizer pressure measurements (compensated for rate of change) fall below preset limits. This trip is blocked below P-7 to permit startup. The trip logic and interlocks are given in Table 7.2-1.
The trip logic is shown on Figure 7.2-1 (Sheet 6).
- 2. Pressurizer high pressure trip The purpose of this trip is to protect the reactor coolant system against system overpressure.
The same sensors and transmitters used for the pressurizer low pressure trip are used for the high pressure trip, except that separate bistables are used for trip. These bistables trip when uncompensated pressurizer pressure signals exceed preset limits on coincidence as listed in Table 7.2-1. There are no interlocks or permissives associated with this trip function.
The logic for this trip is shown on Figure 7.2-1 (Sheet 6).
- 3. Pressurizer high water level trip This trip is provided as a backup to the high pressurizer pressure trip and serves to prevent water relief through the pressurizer safety valves. This trip is blocked below P-7 to permit startup. The coincidence logic and interlocks of pressurizer high water level signals are given in Table 7.2-1.
7.2-7 Rev. OL-20 11/13
- d. Reactor coolant system low flow trips These trips protect the core from DNB in the event of a loss-of-coolant flow situation. Figure 7.2-1 (Sheet 5) shows the logic for these trips. The means of sensing the loss-of-coolant flow are as follows:
- 1. Low reactor coolant flow The parameter sensed is reactor coolant flow. Four elbow taps in each coolant loop are used as a flow device that indicates the status of reactor coolant flow. The basic function of this device is to provide information as to whether or not a reduction in flow has occurred. An output signal from two out of the three bistables in a loop would indicate a low flow in that loop.
The coincidence logic and interlocks are given in Table 7.2-1.
- 2. Reactor coolant pump undervoltage trip This trip protects against low flow which can result from loss of voltage to the reactor coolant pump motors (e.g., from loss of offsite power or reactor coolant pump breakers opening).
There is one undervoltage sensing relay connected to each pump at the motor side of each reactor coolant pump breaker. These relays provide an output signal when the pump voltage goes below 76.7 percent of rated bus voltage. Signals from these relays are time delayed to prevent spurious trips caused by short-term voltage perturbations.
- 3. Reactor coolant pump underfrequency trip This trip protects against low flow resulting from pump underfrequency, for example a major power grid frequency disturbance. The function of this trip is to trip the reactor for an underfrequency condition greater than approximately 2.4 Hz/
second. The setpoint of the underfrequency relays is adjustable between 54 and 60 Hz, typically.
There is one underfrequency sensing relay for each reactor coolant pump motor. Signals from one or both relays from both busses of the pump motors (time delayed to prevent spurious trips caused by short-term frequency perturbations) will trip the reactor if the power 7.2-8 Rev. OL-20 11/13
Table 7.2-1.
- e. Steam generator low-low water level trip The specific trip function generated is low-low steam generator water level trip.
This trip protects the reactor from loss of heat sink. This trip is actuated on two out of four low-low water level signals occurring in any steam generator. The Environmental Allowance Modifier (EAM) circuitry in the low-low level channel provides for two level setpoints corresponding to an adverse and a normal containment environment. A detailed description of the EAM design basis and functional implementation is provided in Reference 5, including a discussion of surveillance testing clarifications.
The logic is shown on Figure 7.2-1 (Sheets 7 and 19).
- f. Reactor trip on a turbine trip (anticipatory)
The reactor trip on a turbine trip is actuated by two-out-of-three logic from emergency trip fluid pressure signals or by all closed signals from the turbine steam stop valves. A turbine trip causes a direct reactor trip above P-9. The reactor trip on turbine trip provides additional protection and conservatism beyond that required for the health and safety of the public.
This trip is included as part of good engineering practice and prudent design.
The turbine provides anticipatory trips to the reactor protection system from contacts which change position when the turbine stop valves close or when the turbine emergency trip fluid pressure goes below its setpoint.
Components specified for use as sensors for input signals to the reactor protection system for "emergency trip oil pressure low" and "turbine stop valves close" will conform to the requirements of IEEE 279-1971 and be environmentally qualified. However, seismic criteria are not included in qualification regarding mounting and location for that portion of the trip system located within nonseismic Category I structures.
Evaluations indicate that the functional performance of the protection system would not be degraded by credible electrical faults such as opens and shorts in the circuits associated with reactor trip or the generation of the P-7 interlock. The solid state protection system cabinets are provided with fuse protection for the turbine stop valve reactor trip cabling in the Turbine Building to preclude degradation of required solid state protection system functions. Faults on the Turbine Building cables going to the oil 7.2-9 Rev. OL-20 11/13
are isolated from the protection system by the process instrumentation (Foxboro) cabinets in the main control room. Loss of signal caused by open circuits would produce either a partial or full reactor trip. Faults on the first stage turbine pressure circuits would result in upscale, conservative output for open circuits and a sustained current, limited by circuit resistance, for short circuits. Multiple failures imposed on these redundant circuits could potentially disable the P-13 interlock. In this event, the nuclear instrumentation power range signals would provide the P-7 safety interlock. Refer to functional diagram, Sheet 4 of Figure 7.2-1. The sensors for the P-13 interlock are seismically qualified.
Evaluations provided in Section 7.6.1 for the trip fluid pressure transmitter loops indicate that credible electrical faults would not degrade the functional performance of the safety-related BOP instrumentation.
In addition, the following measures will be taken to ensure the integrity of the cabling to the reactor protection system (RPS):
- 1. Inputs from the turbine steam stop valves will originate from four separate limit switches (one per valve), each of which is dedicated to providing an input to one channel of the RPS. Cables carrying these signals will be routed in individual conduits. The four circuits will be separated from one another, from non-Class 1E circuits, and identified according to the criteria imposed on Class 1E circuits from their source up to their terminations with the RPS cabinets.
- 2. Inputs from the emergency trip oil pressure and P-13 interlock instrumentation will be routed in a similar manner as are the turbine stop valve inputs.
The logic for this trip is shown on Figure 7.2-1 (Sheet 16).
- g. Safety injection signal actuation trip A reactor trip occurs when the safety injection system is actuated. The means of actuating the safety injection system are described in Section 7.3. This trip protects the core following a loss of reactor coolant or a steam line rupture.
Figure 7.2-1 (Sheet 8) shows the logic for this trip.
- h. Manual trip The manual trip consists of two switches with two outputs on each switch.
One output is used to actuate the train A reactor trip breaker; the other 7.2-10 Rev. OL-20 11/13
switch removes the voltage from the undervoltage trip coil and energizes the shunt trip coil of each breaker.
There are no interlocks which can block this trip. Figure 7.2-1 (Sheet 3) shows the manual trip logic. The design conforms to Regulatory Guide 1.62, as shown in Figure 7.2-3.
.1.1.3 Reactor Trip System Interlocks Table 7.2-2 for the list of protection system interlocks.
- a. Power escalation permissives The overpower protection provided by the out-of-core nuclear instrumentation consists of three discrete, but overlapping, ranges.
Continuation of startup operation or power increase requires a permissive signal from the higher range instrumentation channels before the lower range level trips can be manually blocked by the operator.
A one out of two intermediate range permissive signal (P-6) is required prior to source range trip blocking and detector high voltage cutoff. Source range trips are automatically reactivated and high voltage restored when both intermediate range channels are below the permissive (P-6) setpoint.
There are two manual reset switches for administratively reactivating the source range level trip and detector high voltage when between the permissive P-6 and P-10 setpoints, if required. Source range level trip block and high voltage cutoff are always maintained when above the permissive P-10 setpoint.
The intermediate range level trip and power range (low setpoint) trip can only be blocked after satisfactory operation and permissive information are obtained from two out of four power range channels. Four individual blocking switches are provided so that the low range power range trip and intermediate range trip can be independently blocked (one switch for each train). These trips are automatically reactivated when any three out of the four power range channels are below the permissive (P-10) setpoint, thus ensuring automatic activation to more restrictive trip protection. The development of permissives P-6 and P-10 is shown on Figure 7.2-1 (Sheet 4). All of the permissives are digital; they are derived from analog signals in the nuclear power range and intermediate range channels.
- b. Blocks of reactor trips at low power Interlock P-7 blocks a reactor trip at low power (below 10 percent of full power) on a low reactor coolant flow in more than one loop, reactor coolant 7.2-11 Rev. OL-20 11/13
pressure or pressurizer high water level. See Figure 7.2-1 (Sheets 5 and
- 6) for permissive applications. The P-7 interlock is derived from three out of four power range neutron flux signals below the setpoint in coincidence with two out of two turbine impulse chamber pressure signals below the setpoint (low plant load). See Figure 7.2-1 (Sheets 4 and 16) for the derivation of P-7.
The P-8 interlock blocks a reactor trip when the plant is below 48 percent of full power, on a low reactor coolant flow in any one loop.
The block action occurs when three out of four neutron flux power range signals are below the setpoint. Thus, below the P-8 setpoint, the reactor has the capability to operate with one inactive loop and trip will not occur until two loops are indicating low flow.

Interlock P-9 blocks a reactor trip following a turbine trip below 50 percent power. See Figure 7.2-1 (Sheet 16) for the implementation of the P-9 interlock and Sheet 4 for the derivation of P-9.
.1.1.4 Coolant Temperature Sensor Arrangement e hot leg and one cold leg temperature reading are provided from each coolant loop to for protection. Narrow range, thermowell-mounted Resistance Temperature ectors (RTDs) are provided for each coolant loop. In the hot legs, sampling scoops used because the flow is stratified. That is, the fluid temperature is not uniform over oss section of the hot leg. One dual element RTD is mounted in a thermowell in each he three sampling scoops associated with each hot leg. The scoops extend into the stream at locations 120° apart in the cross sectional plane. Each scoop has five ces which sample the hot leg flow along the leading edge of the scoop. Outlet ports provided in the scoops to direct the sampled fluid past the sensing element of the Ds. One of each of the RTD's dual elements is used while the other is an installed re. Three readings from each hot leg are averaged to provide a hot leg reading for t loop.
e dual element RTD is mounted in a thermowell associated with each cold leg. No sampling is needed because coolant flow is well mixed by the reactor coolant mps. As is the case with the hot leg, one element is used while the other is an alled spare.
tain control signals are derived from individual protection channels through isolation ds. The isolation cards are classified as a part of the protection system. The rod trol system uses the auctioneered (high) value of four isolated T-AVG signals.

.1.1.5 Pressurizer Water Level Reference Leg Arrangement design of the pressurizer water level instrumentation employs the usual tank level ngement, using differential pressure between an upper and a lower tap on a column ater. A reference leg connected to the upper tap is kept full of water by condensation team at the top of the leg.
.1.1.6 Analog System analog system consists of two instrumentation systems - the process rumentation system and the nuclear instrumentation system.
cess instrumentation includes those devices (and their interconnection into systems) ch measure temperature, pressure, fluid flow, fluid level as in tanks or vessels, and asionally physiochemical parameters, such as fluid conductivity or chemical centration. Process instrumentation specifically excludes nuclear and radiation asurements. The process instrumentation includes the process measuring devices, er supplies, indicators, recorders, alarm actuating devices, timers, controllers, signal ditioning devices, etc., which are necessary for day-to-day operation of the NSSS, as l as for monitoring the plant and providing initiation of plant protective functions.
primary function of nuclear instrumentation is to protect the reactor by monitoring the tron flux and generating appropriate trips and alarms for various phases of reactor rating and shutdown conditions. The instrumentation also provides a secondary trol function and indicates reactor status during startup and power operation. The lear instrumentation system uses information from three separate types of rumentation channels to provide three discrete protection levels. Each range of rumentation (source, intermediate, and power) provides the necessary overpower ctor trip protection required during operation in that range. The overlap of instrument ges provides reliable continuous protection beginning with source level through the rmediate and low power level. As the reactor power increases, the overpower tection level is increased by administrative procedures after satisfactory higher range rumentation operation is obtained. Automatic reset to more restrictive trip protection rovided when reducing power.
ious types of neutron detectors, with appropriate solid state electronic circuitry, are d to monitor the leakage neutron flux from subcritical conditions to 120 percent of full er. The neutron flux covers a wide range between these extremes. Therefore, nitoring with several ranges of instrumentation is necessary.
lowest range ("source" range) covers six decades of leakage neutron flux. The est observed count rate depends on the strength of the neutron sources in the core the core multiplication associated with the shutdown reactivity. This is generally 7.2-13 Rev. OL-20 11/13
ades. Detectors and instrumentation are chosen to provide overlap between the her portion of the source range and the lower portion of the intermediate range. The hest range of instrumentation ("power" range) covers approximately two decades of total instrumentation range. This is a linear range that overlaps with the higher tion of the intermediate range.
system described above provides control room indication and recording of signals portional to reactor neutron flux during core loading, shutdown, startup, and power ration, as well as during subsequent refueling. Startup rate indication for the source intermediate range channels is provided at the control board. Reactor trip, control stop, and control and alarm signals are transmitted to the reactor control and tection systems. Equipment failures and test status information are annunciated in control room.
eparate neutron flux monitoring system is discussed in Section 7.6.14 and le 7A-3, Data Sheet 1.1 (SE-NE-60,61).
References 1 and 2 for additional background information on the process and lear instrumentation.
.1.1.7 Solid State Logic Protection System solid state logic protection system takes binary inputs (voltage/no voltage) from the cess and nuclear instrument channels corresponding to conditions (normal/abnormal) lant parameters. The system combines these signals in the required logic bination and generates a trip signal (no voltage) to the undervoltage coils of the ctor trip circuit breakers when the necessary combination of signals occur. This trip nal also de-energizes the auto shunt trip relay which, in turn, closes a contact that rgizes the shunt trip coil. The system also provides annunciator, status light, and puter input signals which indicate the condition of bistable input signals, partial trip full trip functions, and the status of the various blocking, permissive, and actuation ctions. In addition, the system includes means for semiautomatic testing of the logic uits. See References 3, 8, 9, and 10 for additional background information.
.1.1.8 Isolation Amplifiers ertain applications, control signals are derived from individual protection channels ugh isolation amplifiers contained in the protection channel, as permitted by IEEE ndard 279-1971.

setpoints for the various functions in the reactor trip system have been analytically ermined so that the operational limits so prescribed will prevent fuel rod clad damage loss of integrity of the reactor coolant system as a result of any Condition II event ticipated malfunction). As such, during any Condition II event, the reactor trip system ts the following parameters to:
- b. Maximum system pressure = 2,750 psia

.2 ANALYSES
.2.1 Failure Mode and Effects Analyses analysis of the reactor trip system has been performed. Results of this study and a t tree analysis are presented in Reference 4. Replacement solid state protection tem circuit boards were analyzed and tested to determine impact to the Failure des and Effects Analyses. The replacement circuit boards will continue to perform as cribed in Reference 4, but additional board level redundancies will prevent certain
-component failures from resulting in overall board failure as described in References
, and 10 for the three circuit boards associated with active safety functions.
.2.2 Evaluation of Design Limits ile most setpoints used in the reactor protection system are fixed, there are variable points, most notably the overtemperature T and overpower T setpoints.
itionally, for steam generator low-low level reactor trip, the Environmental Allowance difier (EAM) circuitry allows for two setpoints, one for a normal containment ironment and another enabled when an adverse environment is detected. All points in the reactor trip system have been selected on the basis of engineering ign or safety studies. The capability of the reactor trip system to prevent loss of grity of the fuel cladding and/or reactor coolant system pressure boundary during ndition II and III transients is demonstrated in Chapter 15.0. Accident analyses are ried out using those setpoints determined from results of the engineering design dies. Setpoint limits are presented in the Callaway Technical Specifications. A cussion of the intent for each of the various reactor trips and the accident analyses ere appropriate) which utilize this trip are presented below. It should be noted that selected trip setpoints provide for a margin to allow for uncertainties and instrument rs. The design meets the requirements of GDC-10 and 20 (refer to Section 3.1).
.2.2.1 Trip Setpoint Discussion DNBR existing at any point in the core for a given core design can be determined as nction of the core inlet temperature, power output, operating pressure, and flow.
e safety limits in terms of the applicable DNBR limit for the hot channel can be eloped as a function of core T, Tavg and pressure for the thermal design flow, as trated by the solid lines in Figure 15.0-1. The dashed lines indicate the maximum missable setpoint (T) as a function of Tavg and pressure for the overtemperature and rpower reactor trip. Actual setpoint constants in the equation representing the hed lines are as given in the Callaway Technical Specifications. These values are 7.2-18 Rev. OL-20 11/13
C-10, 15, 20, and 29 (refer to Section 3.1).
BR is not a directly measurable quantity; however, the process variables that ermine DNBR are sensed and evaluated. Small isolated changes in various process ables may not individually result in violation of a core safety limit, whereas the bined variations, over sufficient time, may cause the overpower or overtemperature ety limit to be exceeded. The reactor trip system provides reactor trips associated individual process variables in addition to the overpower/overtemperature safety t trips. Process variable trips prevent reactor operation whenever a change in the nitored value is such that a core or system safety limit is in danger of being exceeded uld operation continue. Basically, the high pressure, low pressure, and overpower/
rtemperature T trips provide sufficient protection for slow transients as opposed to h trips as low flow or high flux which will trip the reactor for rapid changes in flow or tron flux, respectively, that would result in fuel damage before actuation of the slower ponding T trips could be effected.
refore, the reactor trip system has been designed to provide protection for fuel dding and reactor coolant system pressure boundary integrity where: 1) a rapid nge in a single variable or factor will quickly result in exceeding a core or a system ety limit and 2) a slow change in one or more variables will have an integrated effect ch will cause safety limits to be exceeded. Overall, the reactor trip system offers erse and comprehensive protection against fuel cladding failure and/or loss of reactor lant system integrity for Condition II and III accidents. This is demonstrated by le 7.2-4, which lists the various trips of the reactor trip system, the corresponding laway Technical Specifications, and the applicable accidents discussed in the safety lyses in which the trip could be credited.
design meets the requirements of GDC-21 (refer to Section 3.1).
operational testing is performed on reactor trip system components and systems to ermine equipment readiness for startup. This testing serves as a further evaluation of system design.
lyses of the results of Condition I, II, III, and IV events, including considerations of rumentation installed to mitigate their consequences, are presented in Chapter 15.0.
instrumentation installed to mitigate the consequences of load rejection and turbine is given in Section 7.4.
.2.2.2 Reactor Coolant Flow Measurement elbow taps used on each loop in the primary coolant system are instrument devices t indicate the status of the reactor coolant flow. The basic function of this device is to 7.2-19 Rev. OL-20 11/13
relation between flow and elbow tap signal is given by the following equation:
P ------- W- 2 P o W o ere Po is the pressure differential at the reference flow Wo and P is the pressure erential at the corresponding flow, W. The full flow reference point is established ing initial plant startup. The low flow trip point is then established at 90% of full flow.
expected absolute accuracy of the channel is within +/- 10 percent of full flow, and d results have shown the repeatability of the trip point to be within +/- 1 percent.
.2.2.3 Evaluation of Compliance to Applicable Codes and Standards reactor trip system meets the criteria of the GDC, as indicated. The reactor trip tem meets the requirements of Section 4 of IEEE Standard 279-1971, as indicated ow.
- a. General functional requirement The protection system automatically initiates appropriate protective action whenever a condition monitored by the system reaches a preset level.
Functional performance requirements are given in Section 7.2.1.1.1.
Section 7.2.1.2.4 presents a discussion of limits, margins, and levels; Section 7.2.1.2.5 discusses unusual (abnormal) events; and Section 7.2.1.2.6 presents minimum performance requirements.
- b. Single failure criterion The protection system is designed to provide two, three, or four instrumentation channels for each protective function and two logic train circuits. These redundant channels and trains are electrically isolated and physically separated. Thus, any single failure within a channel or train will not prevent protective action at the system level when required. Loss of input power to a channel or logic train, the most likely mode of failure, will result in a signal calling for a trip. This design meets the requirements of GDC-23 (refer to Section 3.1).
To prevent the occurrence of common mode failures, such additional measures as functional diversity, physical separation, and testing, as well as administrative control during design, production, installation, and operation, are employed, as discussed in References 4, 8, 9, and 10. The design meets the requirements of GDC-21 and 22 (refer to Section 3.1).
7.2-20 Rev. OL-20 11/13
For a discussion on the quality of the components and modules used in the reactor trip system, refer to Chapter 17.0. The quality assurance applied conforms to GDC-1 (refer to Section 3.1).
- d. Equipment qualification For a discussion of the type tests made to verify the performance requirements, refer to Section 3.11(N). The test results demonstrate that the design meets the requirements of GDC-4 (refer to Section 3.1).
- e. Channel integrity Protection system channels required to operate in accident conditions maintain necessary functional capability under extremes of conditions relating to environment, energy supply, malfunctions, and accidents. The energy supply for the reactor trip system is described in Section 7.6 and Chapter 8.0. The environmental variations throughout which the system will perform are given in Section 3.11(N).
- f. Independence Channel independence is carried throughout the system, extending from the sensor through to the devices actuating the protective function.
Physical separation is used to achieve separation of redundant transmitters. Separation of wiring is achieved using separate wireways, cable trays, conduit runs, and containment penetrations for each redundant channel. Redundant analog equipment is separated by locating modules in different protection cabinets. Each redundant protection channel set is energized from a separate ac power feed. This design meets the requirements of GDC-21 (refer to Section 3.1).
Two reactor trip breakers, which are actuated by two separate logic matrices, interrupt power to the control rod drive mechanisms. The breaker main contacts are connected in series with the power supply so that opening either breaker interrupts power to all control rod drive mechanisms, permitting the rods to free fall into the core (see Figure 7.1-1).
The design philosophy is to make maximum use of a wide variety of measurements. The protection system continuously monitors numerous diverse system variables. Generally, two or more diverse protection functions would terminate an accident before limits are exceeded. This design meets the requirement of GDC-22 (refer to Section 3.1).
7.2-21 Rev. OL-20 11/13
The protection system is designed to be independent of the control system.
In certain applications, the control signals and other nonprotective functions are derived from individual protection channels through isolation amplifiers, as described in Section 7.2.1.1.8. The isolation amplifiers are classified as part of the protection system and are located in the analog protection racks. Nonprotective functions include those signals used for control, remote process indication, and computer monitoring. The isolation amplifiers are designed such that a short circuit, open circuit, or the application of credible fault voltages from within the cabinets on the isolated output portion of the circuit (i.e., the nonprotective side of the circuit) will not affect the input (protective) side of the circuit. The signals obtained through the isolation amplifiers are never returned to the protective racks. This design meets the requirements of GDC-24 and Section 4.7 of IEEE Standard 279-1971 (refer to Section 3.1).
The results of applying various malfunction conditions on the output portion of the isolation amplifiers show that no significant disturbance to the isolation amplifier input signal occurred.
- h. Derivation of system inputs To the extent feasible and practical, protection system inputs are derived from signals which are direct measures of the desired variables. Variables monitored for the various reactor trips are listed in Section 7.2.1.2.2.
- i. Capability for sensor checks The operational availability of each system input sensor during reactor operation is accomplished by cross checking between channels that bear a known relationship to each other and that have readouts available.
Channel checks are discussed in the Technical Specifications.
- j. Capability for testing The reactor trip system is capable of being tested during power operation.
Where only parts of the system are tested at any one time, the testing sequence provides the necessary overlap between the parts to ensure complete system operation. The testing capabilities are in conformance with Regulatory Guide 1.22, as discussed in Section 7.1.2.5.2.
The protection system is designed to permit periodic testing of the analog channel portion of the reactor trip system during reactor power operation without initiating a protective action, unless a trip condition actually exists.
This is because of the coincidence logic required for reactor trip. These 7.2-22 Rev. OL-20 11/13
power. Before starting any of these tests with the plant at power, all redundant reactor trip channels associated with the function to be tested must be in the normal (untripped) mode in order to avoid spurious trips.
Setpoints are administratively controlled.
Analog Channel Tests Analog channel testing is performed at the analog instrumentation rack set by individually introducing dummy input signals into the instrumentation channels and observing the tripping of the appropriate output bistables.
Process analog output to the logic circuitry is interrupted during individual channel tests by test switches which, when thrown, place the Environmental Allowance Modifier (EAM) function into a conservative state, deenergize the associated logic inputs and insert a proving lamp in the bistable outputs. Interruption of a bistable output to the logic circuitry for any cause (test, maintenance purposes, or removed from service) will cause that portion of the logic to be actuated (partial trip), accompanied by a partial trip alarm and channel status light actuation in the control room.
Each channel contains those switches, test points, etc. necessary to test the channel. See References 1, 2, and 5 (as clarified) for additional background information.
The following periodic tests of the analog channels of the protection circuits are performed:
- 1. Tavg and T protection channel testing
- 2. Pressurizer pressure protection channel testing
- 3. Pressurizer water level protection channel testing
- 4. Steam generator water level protection channel testing
- 5. Reactor coolant low flow, underfrequency, and undervoltage protection channels
- 6. Steam line pressure protection channels
- 7. Containment pressure Nuclear Instrumentation Channel Tests The power range channels of the nuclear instrumentation system are tested by superimposing a test signal on the actual detector signal being received by the channel at the time of testing. The output of the bistable is 7.2-23 Rev. OL-20 11/13
range channel logic is two out of four, bypass of this reactor trip function is not required.
To test a power range channel, a "TEST-OPERATE" switch is provided to require deliberate operator action. Operation of this switch will initiate the "CHANNEL TEST" annunciator in the control room. Bistable operation is tested by increasing the test signal to its trip setpoint and verifying bistable relay operation by control board annunciator and trip status lights. It should be noted that a valid trip signal would cause the channel under test to trip at a lower actual reactor power level.
A reactor trip would occur when a second bistable trips. No provisions have been made in the channel test circuit for reducing the channel signal level below that signal being received from the nuclear instrumentation system detector.
A nuclear instrumentation system channel which can cause a reactor trip through one of two protection logic (source or intermediate range) is provided with a bypass function which prevents the initiation of a reactor trip from that particular channel during the short period that it is undergoing test. These bypasses are annunciated in the control room.
Periodic tests of all three ranges of the nuclear instrumentation system are performed while at plant shutdown or while the reactor is at power.
Any deviations noted during the performance of these tests are investigated and corrected in accordance with the established calibration and trouble shooting procedures provided in the plant technical manual for the nuclear instrumentation system. Control and protection trip settings are administratively controlled.
In addition to the above tests, incore/excore calibrations of the power range channels are conducted while the reactor is at power. Also, 18-month calibrations of the source range, intermediate range, and power range channels are permitted to be conducted at power. During the incore/
excore calibration adjustments and during the 18-month calibrations at power, it is permitted to disconnect the detector and high voltage power supply cables for testing.
For additional background information on the nuclear instrumentation system, see Reference 2.
7.2-24 Rev. OL-20 11/13
The reactor logic trains of the reactor trip system are designed to be capable of complete testing at power. After the individual channel analog testing is complete, the logic matrices are tested from the train A and train B logic rack test panels. This step provides overlap between the analog and logic portions of the test program. During this test, all of the logic inputs are actuated automatically in all combinations of trip and nontrip logic. Trip logic is not maintained sufficiently long enough to permit opening of the reactor trip breakers. The reactor trip undervoltage coils and auto shunt trip relays are "pulsed," in order to check continuity. During logic testing of one train, the other train can initiate any required protective functions. Annunciation is provided in the control room to indicate when a train is in test (train output bypassed) and when a reactor trip breaker is bypassed. Logic testing can be performed in less than 30 minutes.
A direct reactor trip resulting from undervoltage or underfrequency on the reactor coolant pump busses is provided, as discussed in Section 7.2.1.1.2 and shown on Figure 7.2-1 (Sheet 5). The logic for these trips is capable of being tested during power operation. When parts of the trip are being tested, the sequence is such that an overlap is provided between parts so that a complete logic test is provided. Thus complete testing of the RTS is possible.
This design complies with the testing requirements of IEEE Standard 279-1971 and IEEE Standard 338-1971 discussed in Section 7.1.2.6.2. For additional details, see References 3, 8, 9, and 10.
The permissive and block interlocks associated with the reactor trip system and engineered safety feature actuation system are given on Tables 7.2-2 and 7.3-15 and designated protection or "P" interlocks. As a part of the protection system, these interlocks are designed to meet the testing requirements of IEEE Standard 279-1971 and IEEE Standard 338-1971.
Testing of all protection system interlocks is provided by the logic testing and semiautomatic testing capabilities of the solid state protection system.
In the solid state protection system, the undervoltage coils and auto shunt trip relays (reactor trip) and master relays (engineered safeguards actuation) are pulsed for all combinations of trip or actuation logic with and without the interlock signals. For example, reactor trip on low flow (two out of four loops showing two out of three low flow) is tested to verify operability of the trip above P-7 and nontrip below P-7 (see Figure 7.2-1, Sheet 5).
Interlock testing may be performed at power.
7.2-25 Rev. OL-20 11/13
input relays and a logic matrix check. The following sequence is used to test the system:
- 1. Check of input relays During testing of the process instrumentation system and nuclear instrumentation system channels, each channel bistable is placed in a trip mode, causing one input relay in train A and one in train B to deenergize. A contact of each relay is connected to a universal logic printed circuit card. This card performs both the reactor trip and monitoring functions. Each reactor trip input relay contact causes a status lamp and an annunciator on the control board to operate. Either the train A or train B input relay operation will light the status lamp and annunciator.
Each train contains a multiplexing test switch. At the start of a process or nuclear instrumentation system test, this switch (in either train) is placed in the A + B position.
The A + B position alternately allows information to be transmitted from the two trains to the control board. A steady status lamp and annunciator indicates that input relays in both trains have been deenergized. A flashing lamp means that the input relays in the two trains did not both deenergize. Contact inputs to the logic protection system, such as reactor coolant pump bus underfrequency relays, operate input relays which are tested by operating the remote contacts as described above and using the same type of indications as those provided for bistable input relays.
Actuation of the input relays provides the overlap between the testing of the logic protection system and the testing of those systems supplying the inputs to the logic protection system. Test indications are status lamps and annunciators on the control board.
Inputs to the logic protection system are checked one channel at a time, leaving the other channels in service. For example, a function that trips the reactor when two out of four channels trip becomes a one out of three trip when one channel is placed in the trip mode.
Both trains of the logic protection system remain in service during this portion of the test.
- 2. Check of logic matrices Logic matrices are checked, one train at a time. Input relays are not operated during this portion of the test. Reactor trips from the train being tested are inhibited with the use of the input error inhibit switch 7.2-26 Rev. OL-20 11/13
the logic matrix tests, one bistable in each channel of process instrumentation or nuclear instrumentation is tripped to check closure of the input error inhibit switch contacts.
The logic test scheme uses pulse techniques to check the coincidence logic. All possible trip and nontrip combinations are checked. Pulses from the tester are applied to the inputs of the universal logic card at the same terminals that connect to the input relay contacts. Thus there is an overlap between the input relay check and the logic matrix check. Pulses are fed back from the reactor trip breaker undervoltage coil and auto shunt trip relay to the tester. The pulses are of such short duration that the reactor trip breaker undervoltage trip attachment (UVTA) trip lever and shunt trip attachment (STA) armature cannot respond mechanically.
Test indications that are provided are an annunciator in the control room indicating that reactor trips from the train have been blocked and that the train is being tested and green and red lamps on the semiautomatic tester to indicate a good or bad logic matrix test.
Protection capability provided during this portion of the test is from the train not being tested.
- 3. General warning alarm reactor trip Each of the two trains of the solid state protection system is continuously monitored by the general warning alarm reactor trip subsystem. The warning circuits are actuated if undesirable train conditions are set up by improper alignment of testing systems, circuit malfunction or failure, etc., as listed below. A trouble condition in a logic train is indicated in the control room.
However, if any of the conditions exist in both trains at the same time, the general warning alarm circuits will automatically trip the reactor.
- a. Loss of either of two 48 volt dc or either of two 15 volt dc power supplies.
- b. Printed circuit card improperly inserted.
- c. Input error inhibit switch in the INHIBIT position.
- d. Slave relay tester mode selector in TEST position.
- e. Multiplexing selector switch in INHIBIT position.
7.2-27 Rev. OL-20 11/13
- g. Opposite train bypass breaker racked in and closed.
- h. Permissive or memory test switch not in OFF position.
- i. Logic function test switch not in OFF position.
The testing capability meets the requirements of GDC-21 (refer to Section 3.1).
Testing of Reactor Trip Breakers Normally, reactor trip breakers 52/RTA and 52/RTB are in service, and bypass breakers 52/BYA and 52/BYB are withdrawn (out of service). In testing the protection logic, pulse techniques are used to avoid tripping the reactor trip breakers, thereby eliminating the need to bypass them during this testing. The following procedure describes the method used for testing the trip breakers:
- 1. With bypass breaker 52/BYA racked out, manually close and trip it to verify its operation.
- 2. Rack in and close 52/BYA.
- 3. Manually trip 52/RTA through a protection system logic matrix while at the same time depressing the auto shunt trip block push-button switch on the auto shunt trip panel. This verifies the operation of the UVTA when the breaker trips.
- 4. Release the auto shunt trip block push-button switch. After reclosing 52/RTA, trip it again by depressing the auto shunt trip test push-button switch on the auto shunt trip panel. This verifies the operation of the STA when the breaker trips.
- 5. Reclose 52/RTA.
- 6. Open and rack out 52/BYA.
- 7. Repeat above steps to test trip breaker 52/RTB, using bypass breaker 52/BYB.
Auxiliary contacts of the bypass breakers are connected into the alarm system of their respective trains so that if either train is placed in test while the bypass breaker of the other train is closed both reactor trip breakers and both bypass breakers will automatically trip.
7.2-28 Rev. OL-20 11/13
that if an attempt is made to close the bypass breaker in one train while the bypass breaker of the other train is already closed both bypass breakers will automatically trip.
The train A and train B alarm systems operate separate annunciators in the control room. The two bypass breakers also operate an annunciator in the control room. Bypassing of a protection train with either the bypass breaker or with the test switches will result in audible and visual indicators.
Auxiliary switch contacts (P-4) of the reactor trip breakers which initiate protective functions can be tested on-line to verify proper operation.
Testing is accomplished using selector switches and voltmeters mounted on the front panels of the reactor trip switchgear cabinets.
The complete reactor trip system is normally required to be in service.
However, to permit on-line testing of the various protection channels or to permit continued operation in the event of a subsystem instrumentation channel failure, the Callaway Technical Specifications define the required number of operable channels. The Callaway Technical Specifications also define the required actions in the event that the channel operability requirements cannot be met.
- k. Channel bypass or removal from operation The protection system is designed to permit periodic testing of the analog channel portion of the reactor trip system during reactor power operation without initiating a protective action, unless a trip condition actually exists.
This is because of the coincidence logic required for reactor trip. Additional information is given in Section 7.2.1.1.2.
- l. Operating bypasses Where operating requirements necessitate automatic or manual bypass of a protective function, the design is such that the bypass is removed automatically whenever permissive conditions are not met. Devices used to achieve automatic removal of the bypass of a protective function are considered part of the protection system and are designed in accordance with the criteria of this section. Indication is provided in the control room if some part of the system has been administratively bypassed or taken out of service.
- m. Indication of bypasses Bypass indication is addressed in Table 7.5-3.
7.2-29 Rev. OL-20 11/13
The design provides for administrative control of access to the means for manually bypassing channels or protective functions.
- o. Multiple setpoints For monitoring neutron flux and steam generator low-low level, multiple setpoints are used. When a more restrictive trip setting becomes necessary to provide adequate protection for a particular mode of operation or set of operating conditions, the protection system circuits are designed to provide positive means or administrative control to ensure that the more restrictive trip setpoint is used. The devices used to prevent improper use of less restrictive trip settings are considered part of the protection system and are designed in accordance with the criteria of this section.
- p. Completion of protective action The protection system is so designed that, once initiated, a protective action goes to completion. Return to normal operation requires action by the operator.
- q. Manual initiation Switches are provided on the control board for manual initiation of protective action. Failure in the automatic system does not prevent the manual actuation of the protective functions. Manual actuation relies on the operation of a minimum of equipment.
- r. Access The design provides for administrative control of access to all setpoint adjustments, module calibration adjustments, and test points.
- s. Identification of protective actions Protective channel identification is discussed in Section 7.1.2.3. Indication is discussed in item t below.
- t. Information readout The protection system provides the operator with complete information pertinent to system status and safety. All transmitted signals (flow, pressure, temperature, etc.) which can cause a reactor trip will be either indicated or recorded for every channel, including all neutron flux power 7.2-30 Rev. OL-20 11/13
average of bottom and top detector currents).
Any reactor trip will actuate an alarm and an annunciator. Such protective actions are indicated and identified down to the channel level.
Alarms and annunciators are also used to alert the operator of deviations from normal operating conditions so that he may take appropriate corrective action to avoid a reactor trip. Actuation of any rod stop or trip of any reactor trip channel will actuate an alarm.
- u. System repair The system is designed to facilitate the recognition, location, replacement, and repair of malfunctioning components or modules. Refer to the discussion in item j above.
.2.3 Specific Control and Protection Interactions
.2.3.1 Neutron Flux r power range neutron flux channels are provided for overpower protection. An ated auctioneered high signal is derived by auctioneering the four channels for omatic rod control (automatic rod insertion only - automatic rod withdrawal no longer ilable). If any channel fails in such a way as to produce a low output, that channel is apable of proper overpower protection but will not cause control rod movement ause of the auctioneer. Two-out-of-four overpower trip logic will ensure an overpower if needed, even with an independent failure in another channel.
ddition, channel deviation signals in the nuclear instrumentation system (NIS), as cussed in Section 7.7.1.3.1, will give an alarm if any neutron flux channel deviates nificantly from the average of the flux signals. Also, the protection system will respond y to rapid changes in indicated neutron flux; slow changes or drifts are compensated he reactor control system (See Section 7.7.1.1). Finally, an overpower signal (See tion 7.7.1.4) from any neutron flux intermediate or power range channel will block rod withdrawal. The setpoints for these rod stops are below the reactor trip points. The intermediate range rod stop (C-1) is blocked as a part of a controlled tup.
.2.3.2 Coolant Temperature accuracy of the narrow range resistance temperature detector (RTD) temperature asurements is demonstrated during plant startup tests by comparing temperature asurements from these RTDs with one another as well as with the temperature asurements obtained from the wide range RTDs. The comparisons are done with the ctor coolant system in an isothermal condition. The linearity of the T measurements 7.2-31 Rev. OL-20 11/13
ing plant startup tests. The absolute value of T versus plant power is not important, se, as far as reactor protection is concerned. Reactor trip system setpoints are ed upon percentages of the indicated T at nominal full power rather than on olute values of T. This is done to account for loop differences which are inherent.
percent T scheme is relative, not absolute, and therefore provides better protective on without the requirement of absolute accuracy. For this reason, the linearity of the signals as a function of power is of importance rather than the absolute values of the As part of the plant startup tests, the RTD signals will be compared with the core exit rmocouple signals.
actor control is based upon signals derived from protection system channels after ation by isolation amplifiers such that no feedback effect can perturb the protection nnels. Since control is based on the average temperature of the loop with the highest perature, the control rods are always moved based upon the most pessimistic perature measurement with respect to margins to DNB. A spurious low average perature measurement from any loop temperature control channel will cause no trol action. A spurious high average temperature measurement will cause rod ertion (safe direction) when operating in the automatic rod control mode.
vg and T channel deviation signals in the control system will give an alarm if any perature channel deviates significantly from the auctioneered (highest) value. Rod hdrawal blocks and turbine runbacks (power demand reduction) will also occur if any out of the four overtemperature or overpower T channels indicate an adverse dition.
.2.3.3 Pressurizer Pressure pressurizer pressure protection channel signals are used for high and low pressure tection and as inputs to the overtemperature T trip protection function. Isolated put signals from these channels are used for pressure control. These are used to trol pressurizer spray and heaters. Safety-related automatic actuation signals are o used to actuate the power-operated relief valves. Pressurizer pressure is sensed by response pressure transmitters.
purious high pressure signal from one channel can cause decreasing pressure by uation of either spray or relief valves. Additional redundancy is provided in the low ssurizer pressure reactor trip and in the logic for safety injection to ensure low ssure protection.
erpressure protection is based upon the positive surge of the reactor coolant duced as a result of turbine trip under full load, assuming that the core continues to duce full power. The self-actuated safety valves, with a nominal set pressure of 2460 g, are sized on the basis of steam flow from the pressurizer to accommodate this ge at a pressure of 2,500 psia and an accumulation of 3 percent. No credit is taken the relief capability provided by the power-operated relief valves during this surge.
7.2-32 Rev. OL-20 11/13
ow the high pressure trip setpoint for most transients. The rate of pressure rise ievable with heaters is slow, and ample time and pressure alarms are available to t the operator of the need for appropriate action.
dundancy is not compromised by having a shared tap (see Section 7.2.1.1.2) since logic for this trip is two out of four. If the shared tap is plugged, the affected channels remain static. If the impulse line bursts, the indicated pressure will drop to zero. In er case, the fault is easily detectable, and the protective function remains operable.
.2.3.4 Pressurizer Water Level ee pressurizer water level channels are used for reactor trip. Isolated signals from se channels are used for pressurizer water level control. A failure in the level control tem could fill or empty the pressurizer at a slow rate (on the order of half an hour or re).
high water level trip setpoint provides sufficient margin so that the undesirable dition of discharging liquid coolant through the safety valves is avoided. Even at full er conditions, which would produce the worst thermal expansion rates, a failure of water level control would not lead to any liquid discharge through the safety valves.
s is due to the automatic high pressurizer pressure reactor trip actuating at a pressure iciently below the safety valve setpoint.
control failures which tend to empty the pressurizer, two-out-of-four logic for safety ction action on low pressure ensures that the protection system can withstand an ependent failure in another channel. In addition, ample time and alarms exist to alert operator of the need for appropriate action.
.2.3.5 Steam Generator Water Level basic function of the reactor protection circuits associated with low-low steam erator water level is to preserve the steam generator heat sink for removal of long m residual heat. Should a complete loss of feedwater occur, the reactor would be ped on low-low steam generator water level. In addition, redundant auxiliary dwater pumps are provided to supply feedwater to maintain residual heat removal ability after trip. This reactor trip acts before the steam generators are dry. This uces the required capacity, increases the time interval before auxiliary feedwater mps are required, and minimizes the thermal transient on the reactor coolant system steam generators.
refore, a low-low steam generator water level reactor trip circuit is provided for each am generator to ensure that sufficient initial thermal capacity is available in the steam erator at the start of the transient. Of the two available low-low level setpoints, one responding to an adverse and one, a normal containment environment, the ironmental Allowance Modifier (EAM) enables the appropriate setpoint. This trip is 7.2-33 Rev. OL-20 11/13
e Section 7.2.1.1.2 and Reference 5, as clarified). Two-out-of-four low-low steam erator water level trip logic ensures a reactor trip, if needed, even with an ependent failure in another channel used for control and when degraded by an itional second postulated random failure.
purious low flow signal from the two feedwater flow channels, which are averaged, uld cause an increase in feedwater flow. A spurious low feedwater flow signal would cate a steam flow/feed flow mismatch and create an error signal causing the dwater control system to compensate for what is perceived to be insufficient dwater flow. In addition, a spurious high steam flow signal from the two steam flow nnels, which are averaged, would also indicate a steam flow/feed flow mismatch and ate an error signal causing the feedwater control system to increase feedwater flow to tch the perceived high steam flow demand. The mismatch between steam flow and dwater flow produced by the spurious signal would actuate alarms to alert the rator of the situation in time for manual correction (see Figure 7.2-1, sheets 13, 14).
e condition continues, a two-out-of-four high-high steam generator water level signal ny loop, independent of the indicated feedwater flow, will cause feedwater isolation trip the turbine. The turbine trip will result in a subsequent reactor trip if power is ve the P-9 setpoint. The high-high steam generator water level trip is an equipment tective trip preventing excessive moisture carryover which could damage the turbine ding.
ddition, the three-element feedwater controller incorporates reset action on the level r signal, such that with expected controller settings a rapid increase or decrease in flow signal would cause only a small change in level before the controller would pensate for the level error. A slow change in the feedwater signal would have no ct at all. A spurious low or high steam flow signal would have the same effect as high ow feedwater signal, discussed above. A spurious high steam generator water level nal from the average of two level channels will tend to close the feedwater control ve. A spurious low steam generator water level signal from the average of two level nnels will tend to open the feedwater control valve. Before a reactor trip would occur, out of four channels in a loop would have to indicate a low-low water level. Any slow t in the water level signal will permit the operator to respond to the level alarms and e corrective action.
omatic protection is provided in case the spurious high level reduces feedwater flow iciently to cause low-low level in the steam generator. Automatic protection is also vided in case the spurious low level signal increases feedwater flow sufficiently to se high level in the steam generator. A turbine trip and feedwater isolation would ur on two-out-of-four high-high steam generator water level in any loop.

s of plant instrument air or loss of component cooling water is discussed in tion 7.3.8.2. Load rejection and turbine trip are discussed in further detail in tion 7.7.
control interlocks, called rod stops, that are provided to prevent abnormal power ditions which could result from excessive control rod withdrawal are discussed in tion 7.7.1.4 and listed in Table 7.7-1. Excessively high power operation (which is vented by blocking of manual rod withdrawal), if allowed to continue, might lead to a ety limit (as given in the Callaway Technical Specifications) being reached. Before h a limit is reached, protection will be available from the reactor trip system. At the er levels of the rod block setpoints, safety limits have not been reached; and, refore, these rod withdrawal stops do not come under the scope of safety-related tems, and are considered as control systems.
.3 TESTS AND INSPECTIONS reactor trip system meets the testing requirements of IEEE Standard 338-1971, as cussed in Section 7.1.2.6.2. The testability of the system is discussed in tion 7.2.2.2.3.

engineered safety feature actuation systems (ESFAS) are comprised of the rumentation and controls to sense accident situations and initiate the operation of essary engineered safety features. The occurrence of a limiting fault, such as a s-of-coolant accident (LOCA) or a steam line break, requires a reactor trip plus uation of one or more of the engineered safety features in order to prevent or mitigate mage to the core and reactor coolant system components and ensure containment grity.

7.3-7 Rev. OL-22 11/16
.2.1 Description containment purge isolation system detects any abnormal amount of radioactivity in containment purge effluent, and initiates appropriate action to ensure that any ase of radioactivity to the environs is controlled. The containment purge systems are o isolated by CIS.
.2.1.1 System Description
- a. Initiating circuits Redundant and independent gaseous radiation monitors measure the radioactivity levels of the containment purge effluent. These monitors provide trip signals to bistable units in the ESF actuation system. The bistables generate redundant trip signals, and transmit them to the automatic actuation logic. Since the dampers also close on CIS, the initiating logic for CIS shown in Figure 7.2-1 (Sheet 8) is also applicable.
These monitors are only required for automatic containment purge isolation in MODES 1 through 4. For plant conditions during CORE ALTERATIONS and during movement of irradiated fuel within containment, the function of the monitors is to alarm only and the trip signals for automatic actuation of CPIS may be bypassed. One instrumentation channel at a minimum is required for the alarm only function during refueling activities.
- b. Logic A logic diagram for the ESF actuation system is provided as Figure 7.3-1.
This diagram shows only the actuation systems; it does not detail the bypass, bypass interlock, or test provisions. The logic for the containment purge isolation actuation subsystem is included in this figure.
The ESFAS hardware consists of solid-state bistables and logic elements, with electromechanical relays as the final output devices. The output relays are all energize-to-actuate, with contact operation as required for each actuated device.
The ESFAS is divided into three input-logic-output channels. These channels all meet the independence and separation criteria, as described elsewhere in this chapter. The logic channels are uniquely associated with the output channels. The input signals from all three input channels are isolated as necessary, and the isolated signals are transmitted to the logic channels as shown in Figure 7.3-1.
7.3-8 Rev. OL-22 11/16
means of digital signal isolation modules. Analog signal isolation modules are included to provide isolated analog signals to the BOP computer.
Adequate physical separation or barriers are provided between differing separation groups, and wiring is routed in separated wireways, where appropriate. The wiring is color-coded with regard to separation group.
The digital signal isolation modules utilize optical isolators with appropriate signal and power conditioning circuits. The output circuits are powered by the devices receiving signals from the isolation modules, so no power isolation is required. There are no connections between the input and output circuits, except for the optical coupling in the isolation devices.
The analog signal isolation modules utilize transformers as the isolation devices. The analog input signals and the input power are converted to pulse trains and applied to the primary windings, and then they are reconstructed by circuits connected to the transformer secondaries. There are no connections between the input and output circuits, except for the magnetic coupling in the transformers.
Both the analog and the digital signal isolation modules are tested to ensure a minimum isolation potential of 1,500 Vac rms between the input terminals and the output terminals (all input terminals shorted together and all output terminals shorted together), and between the terminals and ground (all terminals shorted together). The 1,500 Vac rms test voltage was applied for at least 60 seconds for each test.
Once generated, any actuation signal remains present until it is manually reset. Each bistable automatically resets when its input signal returns to the "safe" side of the setpoint-deadband region.
An automatic test system is provided. The system periodically checks the operability of the channel, and alerts the plant operator, via the annunciator and BOP computer alarms, if a fault is detected. Provision is also included for manual testing. These test provisions do not compromise the integrity of any channel. They are isolated and will not propagate any fault, and the automatic test function is overridden by any actuation input. Bistable bypass switches are provided to permit the testing of bistables. The switches are key-locked, and the key cannot be removed from the lock unless the switch is in the "OPERATE" position. Visual indication of any bypass of any bistables is provided at the ESFAS cabinets; channel-level bypass indication is provided on the main control board.

In this event, the control m air will be recycled and filtered, and a small supply of fresh makeup air will be vided. The control room will be maintained at a set positive pressure to prevent the ess of the local ambient atmosphere. Normal ventilation will be restored only by nual operation by the plant operator, and will be maintained only if the local ambient osphere poses none of the monitored hazards.

automatic subsystem is provided, therefore, to monitor the water supply pressure m the CST and initiate switchover to the essential service water system should the ply from the nonsafety-related condensate storage tank be interrupted.

iliary shutdown control panel.
AFS pump turbine is supplied with motive power from two main steam lines through normally closed, air-operated steam supply valves. A normally closed tor-operated trip and throttle valve is also provided at the inlet to the pump driver.
ntrol of the steam supply valves and trip and throttle valve, as well as manual speed trol for the turbine-driven pump, is provided in the control room and at the auxiliary tdown control panel.
status of the motor-driven pumps, the turbine-driven pump, the turbine steam supply ves, and the trip and throttle valve is indicated in the control room and at the auxiliary tdown control panel. The AFS flow to each steam generator is indicated on both the n control board and at the auxiliary shutdown control panel.
AFS equipment is described in Section 10.4.9.
auxiliary feedwater (AFW) system automatically supplies feedwater to the steam erators to remove decay heat from the reactor coolant system upon the loss of the mal feedwater supply. The motor-driven AFW pumps start automatically upon steam erator water level low-low in any steam generator, upon trip of both turbine-driven W pumps (an anticipatory start signal for which no credit is taken in any accident lysis), upon actuation of AMSAC (anticipated transient without scram mitigation tem actuation circuitry), and upon actuation by the LOCA sequencer or shutdown uencer. The turbine-driven AFW pump is automatically started by steam generator er level low-low in any two steam generators, 4.16-kV safety-related bus NB01 or 02 undervoltage, and upon actuation of AMSAC. All three AFW trains can also be nually actuated. Initiating circuitry is described further in Section 7.3.6.1.1.a.
ddition to initiating functions described above, the auxiliary feedwater actuation nal (AFAS) closes the steam generator blowdown and sample isolation valves, when iliary feedwater is required by plant conditions. All remote manually operated valves he suction from the nonsafety-related CST and in the discharge to the steam erators are normally open.
tain actuations during Control Room evacuation in a fire event are not automatic but uire recovery actions. Specific detail on Control Room fire is discussed in Section
.1.

AFAS-M is generated on the occurrence of any one of the following events:
- 1. Trip of both main feedwater pumps (Manual block of the main feed pump trip signals is provided at the main control board, and is indicated on the ESFAS status panel. This block permits startup and shutdown of the plant without automatic start of the AFPs, while allowing the AFPs to remain available to respond to a demand from any other source.)
- 2. 2 out of 4 low-low level signals for any one steam generator (at solid state protection system)
- 4. Manual AFAS-M initiation The turbine-driven pump is started on the occurrence of either of the following signals:

- 2. Auxiliary feedwater actuation (AFAS-T)
AFAS-T is generated on the occurrence of any one of the following events:
- 1. Loss-of-offsite-power
- 2. Low-low level for any two steam generators (at solid state protection system)
- 4. Manual AFAS-T initiation The steam generator sample line containment isolation valves and the steam generator blowdown isolation valves are all automatically closed on the occurrence of a safety-injection signal, a loss-of-offsite-power signal, or an AFAS. The signal which causes this closure is reset automatically upon reset of the AFAS.

- d. Interlocks The auxiliary feedwater supply valves from the nonsafety-related condensate storage tank and from the ESW system are interlocked with the CST supply pressure sensors, in the presence of an Auxiliary Feedwater Actuation signal, receipt of 2-out-of-3 low pressure signals initiates switchover to essential service water.

The auxiliary shutdown control panel, located outside the main control room, is described in Section 7.4.3.
- 3. General Design Criterion 34 The auxiliary feedwater system provides an adequate supply of feedwater to the steam generators to remove reactor decay heat following reactor trip. Two steam generators with auxiliary feedwater supply are sufficient to remove reactor decay heat without exceeding design conditions of the reactor coolant system.

.7 MAIN STEAM AND FEEDWATER ISOLATION
.7.1 Description signals that initiate automatic closure of the main steam and feedwater isolation ves are generated in the ESFAS described in Section 7.3.8. The logic diagrams for generation of these signals are shown in Figure 7.2-1 (Sheets 8 and 13). The ainder of this section concentrates on the non-Westinghouse portion of the main am and feedwater isolation system (MSFIS).
main steam and feedwater isolation valves are operated by system-medium uators. The actuators are powered by the system-medium, which is controlled by ctrically operated solenoid valves. Each main steam and feedwater isolation valve six solenoid valves, three in each actuation train. Each actuation train is powered m a separate Class 1E electrical system and is capable of closing the valve ependent of the opposite actuation train.
non-Westinghouse MSFIS consists of two independent Class 1E actuation trains.
hin each train, three Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) produce a 2 out of 3 c configuration for each actuation relay per valve. The use of the same software in PLCs in each train can produce the possibility of a Common Mode Software Failure SF). Consequently, a diverse backup means to fast close the main steam isolation ves through the use of an Emergency Override Panel and Fast Close toggle switches cluded in each train to mitigate the consequences of the CMSF.

receipt of an automatic close signal from the Westinghouse solid state protection system (SSPS). Manual operation is also provided.
Two manual Fast Close swtiches are provided for the main steam isolation valves. Each switch has the capability to actuate both actuation trains associated with all four valves. Train isolation at the switches is assured by fire retardant sleeving on the wire going to the switches and by qualification testing that was performed on the switches. This feature is provided to conserve main steam that would be lost to the condenser in the event of a single train actuation.

Portions of the system not required for safety For the main steam and main feedwater isolation valves, each actuation train includes provisions to Normal Close the valves, while both actuation trains are required to remotely Open the valves. This function is not required for safety. The vent lines downstream of the safety related rupture disk, which include manual isolation valves, along with the actuation position indication, are also not required for safety.
.7.1.2 Design Bases design bases for the main steam and feedwater isolation actuation system are vided in Section 7.3.8. The design bases for the remainder of the main steam and dwater isolation system are that the system isolates the main steam and feedwater en required, and that no single failure can prevent any valve from performing its uired function.

.8 NSSS ENGINEERED SAFETY FEATURE ACTUATION SYSTEM
.8.1 Description Westinghouse solid state protection system (SSPS) consists of two parts: the ctor trip system (RTS), which is described in Section 7.2, and the engineered safety ture actuation system (ESFAS), which is described here. The ESFAS monitors ected plant parameters and, if predetermined safety limits are exceeded, transmits nals to logic matrices sensitive to combinations indicative of primary or secondary tem boundary ruptures (Condition III or IV events). When certain logic combinations ur, the system sends actuation signals to the appropriate engineered safety feature ponents. The ESFAS meets the requirements of GDCs 13, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 28, 34, 35, 37, 38, 40, 41, 43, 44, 46, 54, 55, and 56.
.8.1.1 System Description equipment which provides the actuation functions is listed below and discussed in section. (For additional background information, see References 1, 2, and 3.)
7.3-27 Rev. OL-22 11/16
- b. Solid state logic protection system (Ref. 2)
- c. Engineered safety feature test cabinet (Ref. 3)
- d. Manual actuation circuits ESFAS consists of two discrete portions of circuitry: 1) an analog portion consisting hree or four redundant channels per parameter or variable to monitor various plant ameters, such as the reactor coolant system and steam system pressures, peratures and flows, and containment pressures; and 2) a digital portion consisting of redundant logic trains which receive inputs from the analog protection channels and form the logic needed to actuate the engineered safety features. Each digital train is able of actuating the engineered safety feature equipment required. Any single ure within the engineered safety feature actuation system does not prevent system on, when required.
redundant concept is applied to both the analog and logic portions of the system.
aration of redundant analog channels begins at the process sensors and is ntained in the field wiring, containment vessel penetrations, and analog protection ks terminating at the redundant safeguards logic racks. The design meets the uirements of GDCs 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24.
variables are sensed by the analog circuitry, as discussed in Reference 1 and in tion 7.2. The outputs from the analog channels are combined into actuation logic, as wn in Figure 7.2-1 (Sheets 5, 6, 7, and 8). Tables 7.3-13 and 7.3-14 give additional rmation pertaining to logic and function.
log Circuitry process analog sensors and racks for the engineered safety feature actuation tem are described in Reference 1. This reference discusses the parameters to be asured, including pressures, flows, tank and vessel water levels, and temperatures, well as the measurement and signal transmission considerations. These latter siderations include the transmitters, orifices and flow elements, resistance perature detectors, as well as automatic calculations, signal conditioning, and ation and mounting of the devices.
sensors monitoring the primary system are shown on Figure 5.1-1. The secondary tem sensor locations are shown on the steam system flow diagrams given in apter 10.0.
ntainment pressure is sensed by four physically separated differential pressure smitters located outside of the containment (which are connected to the containment osphere by a filled and sealed hydraulic transmission system). The distance from 7.3-28 Rev. OL-22 11/16
ssure sensors external to the containment, forms a double barrier and conforms to C-56 and Regulatory Guide 1.11. Separation is maintained for transmitters, PT0934 and GNPT0936. However, physical separation of the impulse lines, per erence 3, is not maintained for transmitters GNPT0935 and GNPT0937. This latter aration is not required due to the instruments not being impacted by incidents such as siles, pipe whip, high pressure jets, or falling objects from LOCA or MSLB accidents.
s, no adverse impact is produced as a result of this lack of separation.
ital Circuitry engineered safety feature logic racks are discussed in detail in Reference 2. The cription includes the considerations and provisions for physical and electrical aration, as well as details of the circuitry. References 5, 6, and 7 provide additional cussion on the replacement logic rack circuit boards associated with active safety ctions. These references also cover certain aspects of on-line test provision, visions for test points, consideration for the instrument power source, and siderations for accomplishing physical separation. The outputs from the analog nnels are combined into actuation logic, as shown on Sheets 5, 6, 7, 8, and 14 of ure 7.2-1.
- a. Initiating circuits
- 1. Containment pressure (see Table 7.3-14)
- 2. Steam line pressure (see Table 7.3-14)
- 3. Steam line pressure rate (see Table 7.3-14)
- 4. Manual (see Tables 7.3-13 and 14)
Manual actuation switches are provided on the main control board for the safety injection signal (SIS), the containment isolation signal phase-A (CIS-A), and containment isolation signal phase-B/
containment spray actuation signal (CIS-B/CSAS). The switches are momentary-contact and are arranged and operate as follows:
(a) SIS: Two switches, each with two sets of contacts connected mechanically but electrically isolated. One set of contacts in each switch is wired to separation group 1, the other to separation group 4. Operation of either switch actuates both trains of the SIS. The switch wiring is in accordance with the separation requirements of IEEE 279-1971.
7.3-29 Rev. OL-22 11/16
SIS. Operation of either switch actuates both trains of the CIS-A.
(c) CIS-B/CSAS: Two sets of two switches each, each switch arranged and wired as described for SIS. Operation of both switches in either set activates both trains of both CIS-B and CSAS. Operation of any one switch, or of any two switches not in the same set does not actuate CIS-B/CSAS.
Manual controls in the control room are also provided to switch from the injection to the recirculation phase after a LOCA.
- b. Logic The actuation logic is shown in Figure 7.2-1 (Sheets 5, 6, 7, and 8). Tables 7.3-13 and 7.3-14 give additional information pertaining to the logic.
- c. Bypass Bypasses are designed to meet the requirements of IEEE Standard 279-1971, Sections 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, and 4.14. Bypasses are provided to permit testing of the fast-close logic circuitry. However, access to the bypass switches is administratively controlled to prevent simultaneous bypass of both actuation channels for any one valve. The bypass condition is indicated in the main control room. The P-4/Low Tavg bypass switch does not have to meet Section 4.12 of IEEE 279-1971 since this feedwater isolation circuitry does not provide a protective function.
- d. Interlocks Interlocks are also discussed in Sections 7.2, 7.6, and 7.7. The protection (P) interlocks are given on Tables 7.2-2 and 7.3-15. The safety analyses demonstrate that the protective systems ensure that the NSSS will be put into and maintained in a safe state following a Condition II, III, or IV accident commensurate with pertinent criteria in the Callaway Technical Specifications. The protective systems have been designed to meet IEEE Standard 279-1971 and are entirely redundant and separate, including all permissives and blocks. All blocks of a protective function are automatically cleared whenever the protective function is required to function in accordance with GDC-20, GDC-21, and GDC-22 and Sections 4.11, 4.12, and 4.13 of IEEE Standard 279-1971 (except as discussed under c. above). Control interlocks (C) are identified in Table 7.7-1.
Because control interlocks are not safety-related, they have not been specifically designed to meet the requirements of IEEE Protection System Standards.
7.3-30 Rev. OL-22 11/16
system are outlined in Table 7.3-15.
- e. Sequencing The containment spray pumps start 15 seconds after a CSAS with no undervoltage condition present. With an undervoltage condition, 12 seconds must be added for diesel startup.
- f. Redundancy Redundancy for the system is provided by redundant process channels which are physically and electrically separated. Redundant train logic is also provided in the SSPS, which is physically and electrically separated.
The process signals are combined from the process control systems into the SSPS according to the prescribed logic defined in Sections 7.2 and 7.3 to produce actuation signals for RTS and ESFS operations.
- g. Diversity Functional diversity, as described in Reference 4, has been designed into the system. The extent of diverse system variables has been evaluated for postulated accidents. Generally, two or more diverse protection functions would automatically terminate an accident before unacceptable consequences could occur.
- 1. Regarding the engineered safety feature actuation system for a LOCA, a safety injection signal can be obtained manually or by automatic initiation from either of two diverse parameter measurements.
(a) Low pressurizer pressure.
(b) High containment pressure (Hi-1).
- 2. For a steam line break accident, safety injection signal actuation is provided by:
(a) Lead-lag compensated low steam line pressure.
(b) For a steam line break inside containment, high containment pressure (Hi-1) provides an additional parameter for generation of the signal.
(c) Low pressurizer pressure.
7.3-31 Rev. OL-22 11/16
meet the requirements of IEEE Standard 279-1971.
- h. Actuated devices Function Initiation The specific functions which rely on the ESFAS for initiation are:
- 1. A reactor trip, provided one has not already been generated by the reactor trip system.
- 2. Cold leg injection isolation valves which are opened for injection of borated water by safety injection pumps into the cold legs of the reactor coolant system.
- 3. Charging pumps, safety injection pumps, residual heat removal pumps, and associated valving which provide emergency makeup water to the cold legs of the reactor coolant system following a LOCA.
- 4. Containment air recirculation fans and cooling system which serve to cool the containment and limit the potential for release of fission products from the containment by reducing the pressure following an accident.
- 5. Those pumps which serve as part of the heat sink for containment cooling (e.g., service water and component cooling water pumps).
- 6. Motor-driven auxiliary feedwater pumps.
- 7. Phase A containment isolation, whose function is to prevent fission product release (isolation of all lines not essential to reactor protection).
- 8. Steam line isolation to prevent the continuous, uncontrolled blowdown of more than one steam generator and thereby uncontrolled reactor coolant system cooldown (see Section 7.3.7).
- 9. Main feedwater line isolation as required to prevent or mitigate the effect of excessive cooldown.
- 10. Start the emergency diesels to ensure a back-up supply of power to the emergency and supporting systems components.
7.3-32 Rev. OL-22 11/16
occupancy requirements following a LOCA (see Section 7.3.4).
- 12. Containment spray actuation which performs the following functions:
(a) Initiates containment spray to reduce containment pressure and temperature following a loss-of-coolant or steam line break accident inside of the containment.
(b) Initiates Phase B containment isolation which isolates the containment following a LOCA, or a steam or feedwater line break within the containment to limit radioactive releases.
(Phase B isolation, together with Phase A isolation, results in isolation of all but safety injection and spray lines penetrating the containment.)
Final Actuation Circuitry The outputs of the solid state logic protection system (the slave relays) are energized to actuate, as are most final actuators and actuated devices.
These devices are listed as follows:
- 1. Safety injection system pump and valve actuators. See Section 6.3 for flow diagrams and additional information.
- 2. CIS-A isolates all nonessential process lines on receipt of safety injection signal. CIS-B isolates the remaining process lines (which do not include safety injection lines) on receipt of a 2/4 hi-3 containment pressure signal. For further information, see Section 6.2.4.
- 3. Emergency fan coolers (see Section 6.2.2.2)
- 4. Essential service water pump and valve actuators (see Section 9.2.1.2)
- 5. Auxiliary feedwater pumps start (see Section 10.4.9)
- 6. Diesel start (see Section 8.3)
- 7. Feedwater isolation (see Section 10.4.7)
- 8. Ventilation isolation valves and damper actuator (see Section 6.4)
- 9. Steam line isolation valve actuators (see Section 7.3.7 and Section 10.3) 7.3-33 Rev. OL-22 11/16
If an accident is assumed to occur coincident with a loss of offsite power, the engineered safety feature loads must be sequenced onto the diesel generators to prevent overloading them. This sequence is discussed in Section 8.3. The design meets the requirements of GDC-35.
- i. Support systems The following systems are required for support of the engineered safety features:
- 1. Essential service water system - heat removal (see Section 9.2.1)
- 2. Component cooling water system - heat removal (see Section 9.2)
- 3. Electrical power distribution systems (see Section 8.3)
- 4. Essential HVAC systems (see Section 9.4)
Table 7.3-12 provides a list of the auxiliary support ESF systems.
- j. Portion of system not required for safety The system produces annunciator, status light, and computer input signals to indicate individual channel status. The system provides signals to the reactor trip annunciators for sequence of events indication, and indicates the condition of blocks and permissives. Semiautomatic testing features are provided for on-line testing. All monitoring for the testing is at the protection system cabinets. Equipment used to accomplish these functions is isolated from the protection functions and is not required for the safety of the plant. Section 7.3.7.1.1.i discusses individual steam and feedwater isolation control switches that are not required for safety.
.8.1.2 Design Bases functional diagrams presented in Figure 7.2-1 (Sheets 5, 6, 7, and 8) provide a phic outline of the functional logic associated with requirements for the ESFAS.
quirements of the ESFS are given in Chapter 6.0. The design bases information uired in IEEE Standard 279-1971 is given in Sections 7.3.1.2c and 7.3.8.2b.
- a. Automatic actuation requirements The ESFAS receives input signals (information) from the reactor plant and containment and automatically provides timely and effective signals to actuate the components and subsystems comprising the ESFAS.
7.3-34 Rev. OL-22 11/16
The ESFAS has provisions in the control room for manually initiating the functions of the engineered safety feature system.
- c. Equipment protection Equipment related to safe operation of the plant is designed, constructed, and installed to protect it from damage. This is accomplished by conformance to accepted standards, criteria, and consideration of potential environmental conditions. The criteria for equipment protection are given in Chapter 3.0. As an example, certain equipment is seismically qualified in accordance with IEEE Standard 344-1975. During construction, independence and separation is achieved, as required by IEEE Standard 279-1971, IEEE Standard 384-1974, and Regulatory Guide 1.75, either by barriers, physical separation, or demonstration test. This serves to protect against complete destruction of a system by fires, missiles, or other hazards.
.8.1.2.1 Generating Station Conditions following is a summary of those generating station conditions requiring protective on:
- a. Primary system
- 1. Rupture in small pipes or cracks in large pipes.
- 2. Rupture of a reactor coolant pipe (LOCA).
- 3. Steam generator tube rupture.
- b. Secondary system
- 1. Minor secondary system pipe breaks resulting in steam release rates equivalent to a single dump, relief, or safety valve.
- 2. Rupture of a major steam pipe.
.8.1.2.2 Generating Station Variables following list summarizes the generating station variables required to be monitored the automatic initiation of safety injection during each accident identified in the ceding section. Post-accident monitoring requirements are given in Table 7.5-1.
7.3-35 Rev. OL-22 11/16
- 1. Pressurizer pressure
- 2. Containment pressure (not required for steam generator tube rupture)
- b. Secondary system accidents
- 1. Pressurizer pressure
- 2. Steam line pressures and pressure rate
- 3. Containment pressure
.8.1.2.3 Spatially Dependent Variables only variable sensed by the ESFAS which has spatial dependence is reactor coolant perature. The effect on the measurement is negated by using three hot leg sampling ops per loop. One dual element RTD is mounted in a thermowell in each of the three pling scoops associated with each hot leg.
scoops extend into the flow stream at locations 120° apart in the cross sectional ne. Each scoop has five orifices which sample the hot leg flow along the leading edge he scoop. Outlet ports are in the scoops to direct the sampled fluid past the sensing ment of the RTDs. One of each of the RTD's dual elements is used while the other is nstalled spare. Three readings from each hot leg are averaged to provide a hot leg ding for that loop. Therefore, the spatial dependency is compensated by both the ted mixing in the sampling scoops and, more importantly, by the electronic averaging he three hot leg readings per loop. Cold leg stratification, and the resulting issue of tial dependence, is not of concern due to the mixing action of the reactor coolant mps.
.8.1.2.4 Limits, Margins, and Levels erational limits and setpoints are discussed in Chapter 15.0 and the Callaway hnical Specifications. DNBR margin is discussed in Section 4.4.2.2.6. Setpoint rgins are discussed in the setpoint calculations.
.8.1.2.5 Abnormal Events malfunctions, accidents, or other unusual events which could physically damage tection system components or could cause environmental changes are as follows:
- a. LOCA (see Section 15.6.5) 7.3-36 Rev. OL-22 11/16
- c. Earthquakes (see Chapters 2.0 and 3.0)
- d. Fire (see Section 9.5.1)
- e. Missiles (see Section 3.5)
- f. Flood (see Chapters 2.0 and 3.0)
.8.1.2.6 Minimum Performance Requirements imum performance requirements are as follows:
- a. System response times The ESFAS response time is defined in the TS as the interval required for the ESF equipment to be capable of performing its safety function subsequent to the time that the appropriate variable exceeds its actuation setpoint. The ESF equipment is actuated by the output of the ESFAS, which is by the operation of the dry contacts of the slave relays (600 and 700 series relays) in the output cabinets of the solid state protection system. The response times listed below include the interval of time which will elapse between the time the parameter as sensed by the sensor exceeds the nominal trip setpoint and the time the solid state protection system slave relay dry contacts are operated. These values (as listed below) are maximum allowable values consistent with the safety analyses and the Technical Specifications and were systematically verified during plant preoperational startup tests. For the overall ESF response time, refer to Table 16.3-2. In a similar manner for the overall reactor trip system instrumentation response time, refer to Table 16.3-1. These maximum delay times include all compensation and, therefore, require that any such network be aligned and operating during verification testing.
The ESFAS is capable of having response time tests routinely performed-using methods similar to those used for tests performed during the preoperational test program or following significant component changes.
Maximum allowable time delays in generating the actuation signal for loss-of-coolant protection are:
- 1. Pressurizer pressure 2.0 seconds 7.3-37 Rev. OL-22 11/16
steam line break protection are:
- 1. Steam line pressure 2.0 seconds
- 2. Steam line pressure rate 2.0 seconds
- 3. High - 2 containment pressure 2.0 seconds for closing main steam line isolation valves
- 4. Actuation signals for auxiliary See Table 16.3-2 feedwater pumps
- b. System Accuracies Accuracies required for generating the required actuation signals for loss-of-coolant protection are:
- 1. Pressurizer pressure See Table 7.2-3 and (uncompensated) Section 15.0.3.2 and approved setpoint calculations.
Accuracies required in generating the required actuation signals for steam line break protection are given:

- 2. Containment pressure signal See CSA in Callaway Setpoint Methodology Report and approved calculations.
- c. Ranges of sensed variables to be accommodated until conclusion of protective action is ensured.
Ranges required in generating the required actuation signals for loss-of-coolant protection are given:
- 1. Pressurizer pressure 1,700 to 2,500 psig
- 2. Containment pressure 0 to 69 psig 7.3-38 Rev. OL-22 11/16
break protection are given:
- 1. Tavg 530 to 630°F
- 2. Steam line pressure 0 to 1,300 psig
- 3. Containment pressure 0 to 69 psig
.8.1.2.7 Bistable Trip Setpoints re are three values applicable to engineered safety feature actuation:
- a. Safety analysis limit
- b. Allowable value
- c. Nominal trip setpoint safety analysis limit is the value assumed in the accident analysis.
nominal trip setpoint is the value set into the equipment and is obtained by adding or tracting the channel statistical allowance to/from the safety analysis limit. The minal trip setpoint allows for the normal expected rack drift, such that the Callaway hnical Specification allowable values will not be exceeded under normal operation.
allowable value is in the Callaway Technical Specifications and is obtained by ing or subtracting a calculated allowance to/from the nominal trip setpoint. This culated allowance accounts for the function-specific allowances discussed in the es for Technical Specifications 3.3.1 and 3.3.2.
stinghouse setpoint studies performed for the replacement steam generators (RSGs) vide an allowance from the nominal trip setpoint to the technical specification wable value to account only for rack calibration accuracy. The difference between nominal trip setpoints for reactor trips and ESF actuations started by SG water level
-low, SG water level high-high, and low steamline pressure and their safety analysis ts includes the same error terms discussed in Appendix 3A, RG 1-105. The Nominal Setpoints and Allowable Values section in the Background Bases for Technical cifications 3.3.1 and 3.3.2 discuss some differences between the pre-RSG and post-G setpoint methodologies, but the major difference is the tightening of the band ween the NTS and the AV for the above RTS and ESFAS functions. Designers ose setpoints, such that the accuracy of the instrument is adequate to meet the umptions of the safety analysis.
setpoints that require trip action are given in the Callaway Technical Specifications.
urther discussion on setpoints is found in Section 7.2.2.2.1.
7.3-39 Rev. OL-22 11/16
rument and rack drift, and calibration uncertainty to obtain the nominal trip setpoint ch is actually set into the equipment. The only requirement on the instrument's uracy value is that over the instrument span the error must always be less than or al to the error value assumed in the accident analysis. The instrument does not need e the most accurate at the setpoint value as long as it meets the minimum accuracy uirement. The accident analysis accounts for the expected errors at the actual point.
nge selection for the instrumentation covers the expected range of the process able being monitored, consistent with its application. The design of the reactor tection and engineered safety features systems is such that the bistable trip setpoints not require process transmitters to operate within 5 percent of the high and low end of r calibrated span or range. Functional requirements established for every channel in reactor protection and engineered safety feature systems stipulate the maximum wable errors on accuracy, linearity, and reproducibility. The protection channels have capability for and are tested to ascertain that the characteristics throughout the entire n, in all aspects, are acceptable and meet functional requirement specifications. As a ult, no protection channel operates normally within 5 percent of the limits of its cified span.
specific functional requirements for response time, setpoint, and operating span are ed on the results and evaluation of safety studies carried out using data pertinent to plant. This establishes adequate performance requirements under both normal and ted conditions, including consideration of process transmitter margins such that even er a highly improbable situation of full power operation at the limits of the operating p [as defined by the high and low pressure reactor trip, T overpower and rtemperature trip lines (DNB protection), and the steam generator safety valve ssure setpoint] adequate instrument response is available to ensure plant safety.
.8.1.3 Final System Drawings schematic diagram for the systems discussed in this section is listed in Section 1.7.
.8.2 Analysis
- a. Conformance to GDCs Conformance to GDCs is described in Section 7.1.
- b. Conformance to IEEE 279-1971
- 1. Single Failure Criteria 7.3-40 Rev. OL-22 11/16
4-7 in Section 7.3.9) is applicable to the engineered safety feature actuation system, with the following exception.
In the engineered safety feature, a loss of instrument power will call for actuation of engineered safety feature equipment controlled by the specific bistable that lost power (containment spray exempted).
The actuated equipment must have power to comply. The power supply for the protection system is discussed in Sections 7.6 and 8.3.
For containment spray, the final bistables are energized to trip to avoid spurious actuation. In addition, manual containment spray requires a simultaneous actuation of two manual controls. This is considered acceptable because spray actuation on hi-hi containment pressure signal provides automatic initiation of the system via protection channels meeting the criteria in Reference 3.
Moreover, two sets (two switches per set) of containment spray manual initiation switches are provided to meet the requirements of IEEE Standard 279-1971. Also it is possible for all engineered safety feature equipment (valves, pumps, etc.) to be individually manually actuated from the control board. Hence, a third mode of containment spray initiation is available. The design meets the requirements of GDCs 21 and 23.
- 2. Equipment Qualification Equipment qualifications are discussed in Sections 3.10(N) and 3.11(N).
- 3. Channel Independence The discussion presented in Section 7.2.2.2.3 is applicable. The engineered safety feature slave relay outputs from the solid state logic protection cabinets are redundant, and the actuation signals associated with each train are energized up to and including the final actuators by the separate ac power supplied which powers the logic trains.
- 4. Control and Protection System Interaction The discussions presented in Section 7.2.2.2.3 are applicable.
- 5. Capability for Sensor Checks and Equipment Test and Calibration 7.3-41 Rev. OL-22 11/16
applicable to the sensors, analog circuitry, and logic trains of the ESFAS.
The following discussions cover those areas in which the testing provisions differ from those for the reactor trip system.
Testing of ESFAS To facilitate engineered safety feature actuation testing, four cabinets (two per train) are provided which enable operation, to the maximum practical extent, of safety feature loads on a group-by-group basis until actuation of all devices has been checked.
The testing program meets the requirements of GDCs 21, 37, 40, and 43 and Regulatory Guide 1.22, as discussed in Section 7.1.2.5.2. The tests described in item 3 above and further discussed in Section 6.3.4 meet the requirements on testing of the emergency core cooling system, as stated in GDC-37, except for the operation of those components that will cause an actual safety injection. The test, as described, demonstrates the performance of the full operational sequence that brings the system into operation, the transfer between normal and emergency power sources, and the operation of associated cooling water systems. The safety injection and residual heat removal pumps are started and operated and their performance verified in a separate test described in Section 6.3.4. When the pump tests are considered in conjunction with the emergency core cooling system test, the requirements of GDC-37 on testing of the emergency core cooling system are met as closely as possible without causing an actual safety injection.
The system design, as described in Sections 6.3 and 7.2.2.2.3 item 3 above, provides complete periodic testability during reactor operation of all logic and components associated with the emergency core cooling system. This design meets the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.22, as discussed in the above sections. The testing capability is as follows:
(a) Prior to initial plant operations, ESFS tests are conducted.
(b) Subsequent to initial startup, ESFS tests are conducted during each regularly scheduled refueling outage.
(c) During on-line operation of the reactor, all of the engineered safety feature analog and logic circuitry can be fully tested.
7.3-42 Rev. OL-22 11/16
final actuators can be fully tested. The remaining few final actuators whose operation is not compatible with continued on-line plant operation can be checked by means of continuity testing.
(d) During normal operation, the operability of testable final actuation devices of the ESFS can be tested by manual initiation from the control room.
Performance Test Acceptability Standard for the SIS and for the Automatic Demand Signal for CSAS Generation During reactor operation, the basis for ESFAS acceptability will be the successful completion of the overlapping tests performed on the initiating system and the engineered safety feature actuation system (see Figure 7.3-2). Checks of process indications verify operability of the sensors. Analog checks and tests verify the operability of the analog circuitry from the input of these circuits through to and including the logic input relays, except for the input relays associated with the containment spray function which are tested during the solid state logic testing. Solid state logic testing also checks the digital signal path from and including logic input relay contacts through the logic matrices and master relays and performs continuity tests on the coils of the output slave relays. Final actuator testing operates the output slave relays and verifies the operability of those devices which require safeguards actuation and which can be tested without causing plant upset. A continuity check is performed on the actuators of the untestable devices. Operation of the final devices is confirmed by control board indication and visual observation that the appropriate pump breakers close and automatic valves shall have completed their travel.
The basis for acceptability for the engineered safety feature interlocks will be control board indication of proper receipt of the signal upon introducing the required input at the appropriate setpoint.
Maintenance checks (performed during regularly scheduled refueling outages), such as resistance to ground of signal cables in radiation environments, are based on qualification test data which identifies what constitutes acceptable radiation, thermal, etc.,
degradation.
7.3-43 Rev. OL-22 11/16
Tests During reactor operation, complete system testing (excluding sensors or those devices whose operation would cause plant upset) is performed periodically, as specified in the Callaway Technical Specifications. Testing, including the sensors, is also performed during scheduled plant shutdown for refueling. See the Callaway Technical Specifications for frequency of testing.
Engineered Safety Feature Actuation Test Description The following sections describe the testing circuitry and procedures for the on-line portion of the testing program. The guidelines used in developing the circuitry and procedures are:
(a) The test procedures must not involve the potential for damage to any plant equipment.
(b) The test procedures must minimize the potential for accidental tripping.
(c) The provisions for on-line testing must minimize complication of engineered safety feature actuation circuits so that their reliability is not degraded.
Description of Initiation Circuitry Several systems comprise the total engineered safety feature system, the majority of which may be initiated by different process conditions and be reset independently of each other.
The remaining functions (listed in item h of Section 7.3.8.1.1) are initiated by a common signal (safety injection) which in turn may be generated by different process conditions.
In addition, operation of all other vital auxiliary support systems, such as auxiliary feedwater, component cooling, and service water, is initiated by the safety injection signal.
Each function is actuated by a logic circuit which is separated between each of the two redundant trains of the engineered safety feature initiation circuits.
The output of each of the initiation circuits consists of a master relay which drives slave relays for contact multiplication as required. The 7.3-44 Rev. OL-22 11/16
protection cabinets designated train A and train B, respectively, for the redundant counterparts. The master and slave relay circuits operate various pump and fan circuit breakers or starters, motor-operated valve contactors, solenoid-operated valves, emergency generator starting, etc.
Analog Testing Analog testing is identical to that used for reactor trip circuitry and is described in Section 7.2.2.2.3.
An exception to this is containment spray, which is energized to actuate 2/4 and reverts to 2/3 when one channel is in test.
Solid State Logic Testing Except for containment spray channels, solid state logic testing is the same as that discussed in Section 7.2.2.2.3. During logic testing of one train, the other train can initiate the required engineered safety feature function. For additional details, see References 2, 5, 6, and 7.
Actuator Testing At this point, testing of the initiation circuits through operation of the master relay and its contacts to the coils of the slave relays has been accomplished. The engineered safety feature logic slave relays in the solid state protection system output cabinets are subjected to coil continuity tests by the output relay tester in the solid state protection system cabinets. Slave relays (K601, K602, etc.) do not operate because of reduced voltage applied to their coils by the mode selector switch (TEST/OPERATE). A multiple position master relay selector switch selects the master relays and corresponding slave relays to which the coil continuity test voltage is applied.
The master relay selector switch is returned to OFF before the mode selector switch is placed back in the OPERATE mode. However, failure to do so will not result in defeat of the protective function.
The engineered safety feature actuation system slave relays are activated during the testing by the on-line test cabinet, so that overlap testing is maintained.
The engineered safety feature actuation system final actuation device or actuated equipment testing is performed from the solid 7.3-45 Rev. OL-22 11/16
solid state logic protection system equipment. There is one set of test cabinets provided for each of the two protection trains, A and B.
Each set of cabinets contains individual test switches necessary to actuate the slave relays. To prevent accidental actuation, test switches are of the type that must be rotated and then depressed to operate the slave relays. Assignments of contacts of the slave relays for actuation of various final devices or actuators have been made such that groups of devices or actuated equipment can be operated individually during plant operation without causing plant upset or equipment damage. In the unlikely event that a safety injection signal is initiated during the test of the final device that is actuated by this test, the device will already be in its proper position to perform its safety function.
During this last procedure, close communication is maintained between the main control room operator and the tester at the test cabinet. Prior to the energizing of a slave relay, the operator in the main control room assures that plant conditions will permit operation of the equipment that will be actuated by the relay. After the tester has energized the slave relay, the main control room operator observes that all equipment has operated, as indicated by appropriate indicating lamps, monitor lamps, and annunciators of the control board, and records all operations. He then resets all devices and prepares for operation of the next slave relay actuated equipment.
By means of the procedure outlined above, all engineered safety feature devices actuated by engineered safety feature actuation systems initiation circuits, with the exceptions noted in Section 7.1.2.5.2 under a discussion of Regulatory Guide 1.22, are operated by the automatic circuitry.
Actuator Blocking and Continuity Test Circuits Those few final actuation devices that cannot be designed to be actuated during plant operation (discussed in Section 7.1.2.5.2) have been assigned to slave relays for which additional test circuitry has been provided to individually block actuation of a final device upon operation of the associated slave relay during testing.
Operation of these slave relays, including contact operations, and continuity of the electrical circuits associated with the final devices control are checked in lieu of actual operation. The circuits provide for monitoring of the slave relay contacts, the devices' control circuit cabling, control voltage, and the devices' actuation solenoids.
Interlocking prevents blocking the output from more than one output 7.3-46 Rev. OL-22 11/16
also provided to prevent continuity testing in both trains simultaneously. Therefore, the redundant device associated with the protection train not under test will be available in the event protection action is required. If an accident occurs during testing, the automatic actuation circuitry will override testing, as noted above. One exception to this is that if the accident occurs while testing a slave relay whose output must be blocked, those few final actuation devices associated with this slave relay will not be actuated; however, the redundant devices in the other train would be operational and would perform the required safety function.
Actuation devices to be blocked are identified in Section 7.1.2.5.2.
The continuity test circuits for these components that cannot be actuated on-line are verified by proving lights on the safeguards test racks.
The typical schemes for blocking operation of selected protection function actuator circuits are shown in Figure 7.3-3 as details A and B. The schemes operate as explained below and are duplicated for each safeguards train.
Detail A shows the circuit for contact closure for protection function actuation. Under normal plant operation and equipment not under test, the test lamps "DS*" for various circuits will be energized.
Typical circuit path will be through the normally closed test relay contact "K8*" and through test lamp connections 1 to 3. Coils "X1" and "X2" will be capable of being energized for protection function actuation upon closure of solid state logic output relay contacts "K*."
Coil "X1" is typical for a motor control center starter coil. "X2" is typical for a breaker closing auxiliary coil, motor starter master coil, coil of a solenoid valve, auxiliary relay, etc. When the contacts "K8*"
are opened to block energizing of coil "X1" or "X2," the white lamp is deenergized, and the slave relay "K*" may be energized to perform continuity testing. The operability of the blocking relay in both blocking and restoring normal service can be verified by opening the blocking relay contact in series with lamp terminal 1, which deenergizes the test lamp, and by closing the blocking relay contact in series with lamp terminal 1, which energizes the test lamp and verifies that the circuit is now in its normal, i.e., operable condition.
Detail B shows the circuit for contact opening for protection function actuation. Under normal plant operation, and equipment not under test for 125-volt dc actuation devices, the white test lamps "DS*" for the various circuits will be energized, and green test lamp "DS*" will be deenergized. Typical circuit path for white lamp "DS*" will be 7.3-47 Rev. OL-22 11/16
"K*" and through test lamp connections 3 to 1. Coil "Y2" will be capable of being deenergized for protection function actuation upon opening of solid state logic output relay contact "K*." Coil "Y2" is typical for a solenoid valve coil, auxiliary relay, etc. When the contact "K8*" is closed to block deenergizing of coil "Y2," the green test lamp is energized, and the slave relay "K*" may be energized to verify operation (opening of its contacts). To verify operability of the blocking relay in both blocking and restoring normal service, close the blocking relay contact to the green lamp - the green test lamp should now be energized also; open this blocking relay contact - the green test lamp should be deenergized, which verifies that the circuit is now in its normal, i.e., operable position.
Time Required for Testing It is estimated that analog testing can be performed at a rate of several channels per hour. Logic testing of both trains A and B can be performed in less than 30 minutes. Testing of actuated components (including those which can only be partially tested) will be a function of control room operator availability. It is expected to require several shifts to accomplish these tests. During this procedure, automatic actuation circuitry will override testing, except for those few devices associated with a single slave relay whose outputs must be blocked and then only while blocked. It is anticipated that continuity testing associated with a blocked slave relay could take several minutes. During this time, the redundant devices in the other train would be functional.
Summary of On-Line Testing Capabilities The procedures described provide capability for checking completely from the process signal to the logic cabinets and from there to the individual pump and fan circuit breakers or starters, valve contactors, pilot solenoid valves, etc., including all field cabling actually used in the circuitry called upon to operate for an accident condition. For those few devices whose operation could adversely affect plant or equipment operation, the same procedure provides for checking from the process signal to the logic rack. To check the final actuation device, a continuity test of the individual control circuits is performed.
The procedures require testing at various locations.
(a) Analog testing and verification of bistable setpoint are accomplished at process analog racks. Verification of 7.3-48 Rev. OL-22 11/16
status lights.
(b) Logic testing through operation of the master relays and low voltage application to slave relays is done at the solid state protection system logic rack test panel.
(c) Testing of pumps, fans, and valves is done at the test panel located in the vicinity of the solid state protection system logic racks in combination with the control room operator.
(d) Continuity testing for those circuits that cannot be operated is done at the same test panel mentioned in item c above.
The reactor coolant pump essential service isolation valves consist of the isolation valves for the component cooling water return and the seal water return header.
The main reason for not testing these valves periodically is that the reactor coolant pumps may be damaged. Although pump damage from this type of test would not result in a situation which endangers the health and safety of the public, it could result in unnecessary shutdown of the reactor for an extended period of time while the reactor coolant pump or certain of its parts are replaced.
Testing During Shutdown Emergency core cooling system tests will be performed periodically as stated in the Callaway Technical Specifications, with the reactor coolant system isolated from the emergency core cooling system by closing the appropriate valves. A test safety injection signal will then be applied to initiate operation of active components (pumps and valves) of the emergency core cooling system. This is in compliance with GDC-37.
Containment spray system tests will be performed at each major fuel reloading. The tests will be performed with the isolation valves in the spray supply lines at the containment blocked closed and are initiated by tripping the normal actuation instrumentation.
Periodic Maintenance Inspections The maintenance procedures which follow will be accomplished per applicable plant procedures. The frequency will depend on the operating conditions and requirements of the reactor power plant. If any degradation of equipment operation is noted, either 7.3-49 Rev. OL-22 11/16
replace, or readjust the equipment. Optimum operating performance must be achieved at all times.
Typical maintenance procedures include the following:
(a) Check cleanliness of all exterior and interior surfaces.
(b) Check all fuses for corrosion.
(c) Inspect for loose or broken control knobs and burned out indicator lamps.
(d) Inspect for moisture and condition of cables and wiring.
(e) Mechanically check all connectors and terminal boards for looseness, poor connections, or corrosion.
(f) Inspect the components of each assembly for signs of overheating or component deterioration.
(g) Perform complete system operating check.
The balance of the requirements listed in IEEE 279-1971 (Sections 4.11 through 4.22) is discussed in Section 7.2.2.2.3. Section 4.20 receives special attention in Section 7.5.
- 6. Manual Resets and Blocking Features The manual reset feature associated with containment spray actuation is provided in the standard design of the Westinghouse solid state protection system design for two basic purposes: first, the feature permits the operator to start an interruption procedure of automatic containment spray in the event of false initiation of an actuate signal; second, although spray system performance is automatic, the reset feature enables the operator to start a manual takeover of the system to handle unexpected events which can be better dealt with by operator appraisal of changing conditions following an accident.
Manual control of the spray system does not occur once actuation has begun by just resetting the associated logic devices alone.
Components will seal in (latch) so that removal of the actuate signal, in itself, will neither cancel or prevent completion of protective action, nor provide the operator with manual override of the automatic system by this single action. In order to take complete 7.3-50 Rev. OL-22 11/16
operator must deliberately unlatch relays which have "sealed in" the initial actuate signals in the associated motor control center, in addition to tripping the pump motor circuit breakers, if stopping the pumps is desirable or necessary.
The manual reset feature associated with containment spray, therefore, does not perform a bypass function. It is merely the first of several manual operations required to take control from the automatic system or interrupt its completion should such an action be considered necessary.
In the event that the operator anticipates system actuation and erroneously concludes that it is undesirable or unnecessary and imposes a standing reset condition in one train (by operating and holding the corresponding reset switch at the time the initiate signal is transmitted) the other train will automatically carry the protective action to completion. In the event that the reset condition is imposed simultaneously in both trains at the time the initiate signals are generated, the automatic sequential completion of system action is interrupted, and control has been taken by the operator. Manual takeover will be maintained, even though the reset switches are released, if the original initiate signal exists. Should the initiate signal then clear and return again, automatic system actuation will repeat.
Note also that any time delays imposed on the system action are to be applied after the initiating signals are latched. Delay of actuate signals for fluid systems lineup, load sequencing, etc., does not provide the operator time to interrupt automatic completion, with manual reset alone, as would be the case if time delay were imposed prior to sealing of the initial actuate signal.
The manual block features associated with pressurizer and steam line safety injection signals provide the operator with the means to block initiation of safety injection during plant startup. These block features meet the requirements of Section 4.12 of IEEE Standard 279-1971 in that automatic removal of the block occurs when plant conditions require the protection system to be functional.
The P-4/Low Tavg bypass switch does not have to meet Section 4.12 of IEEE 279-1971 since this feedwater isolation circuitry does not provide a protective function.
7.3-51 Rev. OL-22 11/16
There are two system level switches. Each switch actuates all four main steam line isolation and bypass valves of the system level.
Automatic initiation of switchover to recirculation with manual completion is in compliance with Section 4.17 of IEEE Standard 279-1971, with the following comment.
Manual initiation of either one of two redundant safety injection actuation main control board mounted switches provides for actuation of the components required for reactor protection and mitigation of adverse consequences of the postulated accident, including delayed actuation of sequenced started emergency electrical loads as well as components providing switchover from the safety injection mode to the cold leg recirculation mode following a loss of primary coolant accident. Therefore, once safety injection is initiated, those components of the emergency core cooling system (see Section 6.3) which are realigned as part of the semiautomatic switchover go to completion on low refueling storage tank water level without any manual action.
Manual operation of other components or manual verification of proper position as part of the emergency procedures is not precluded nor otherwise in conflict with the above-described compliance to Section 4.17 of IEEE Standard 279-1971 for the semiautomatic switchover circuits.
No exception to the requirements of IEEE Standard 279-1971 has been taken in the manual initiation circuit of safety injection.
Although Section 4.17 of IEEE Standard 279-1971 requires that a single failure within common portions of the protective system shall not defeat the protective action by manual or automatic means, the standard does not specifically preclude the sharing of initiation circuitry logic between automatic and manual functions. It is true that the manual safety injection initiation functions associated with one actuation train (e.g., train A) share portions of the automatic initiation circuitry logic of the same logic train; however, a single failure in shared functions does not defeat the protective action of the redundant actuation train (e.g., train B). A single failure in shared functions does not defeat the protective action of the safety function. It is further noted that the sharing of the logic by manual and automatic initiation is consistent with the system level action requirements of the IEEE Standard 279-1971, Section 4.17 and consistent with the minimization of complexity.

Conformance to regulatory guides and associated IEEE standards is provided in Sections 7.1.2.5 and 7.1.2.6.
- d. Failure mode and effects analyses Failure mode and effects analyses have been performed on the engineered safety feature systems' equipment, and the results are provided in Reference 3. The interface criteria provided in Appendices B and C of Reference 3 have been met in the design. A separate, yet similar, failure modes and effects analysis has been performed for the P-4/Low Tavg bypass switch with acceptable results.
The discussions presented in Section 7.2.2.1 are also applicable to the NSSS ESFAS. (See also References 4-7 in Section 7.3.9.)
In addition to the consideration given in this reference a loss of instrument air or loss of component cooling water to vital equipment has been considered. Neither the loss of instrument air nor the loss of cooling water (assuming no other accident conditions) can cause safety limits, as given in the Callaway Technical Specifications, to be exceeded. Likewise, loss of either of the two will not adversely affect the core or the reactor coolant system nor will it prevent an orderly shutdown if this is necessary.
Furthermore, all pneumatically operated valves and controls will assume a preferred operating position upon loss of instrument air. It is also noted that, for conservatism during the accident analysis (Chapter 15.0), credit is not taken for the instrument air systems nor for any control system benefit.
The design does not provide any circuitry which will directly trip the reactor coolant pumps on a loss of component cooling water. Normally, indication in the control room is provided whenever component cooling water is lost.
The reactor coolant pumps can run 10 minutes after a loss of component cooling water. This provides adequate time for the operator to correct the problem or trip the plant, if necessary.
The initiation and operation of the auxiliary feedwater system are described in the Callaway Technical Specifications.
- e. Periodic testing Periodic testing is described in Section 7.3.8.2b. Testing frequency is provided in the Callaway Technical Specifications.

effectiveness of the engineered safety feature actuation system is evaluated in apter 15.0, based on the ability of the system to contain the effects of Condition III and events, including loss-of-coolant and steam line break accidents. The engineered ety feature actuation system parameters are based upon the component performance cifications which are given by the manufacturer or verified by test for each ponent. Appropriate factors to account for uncertainties in the data are factored into constants characterizing the system.
ESFAS must detect Condition III and IV events and generate signals which actuate engineered safety features. The system must sense the accident condition and erate the signal actuating the protection function reliably and within a time ermined by and consistent with the accident analyses in Chapter 15.0.
ch longer times are associated with the actuation of the mechanical and fluid system ipment associated with engineered safety features. This includes the time required switching, bringing pumps and other equipment to speed, and the time required for m to take load.
erating procedures require that the complete engineered safety feature actuation tem normally be operable. However, redundancy of system components is such that system operability assumed for the safety analyses can still be met with certain rumentation channels out of service. Channels that are out of service are to be ced in the tripped mode or bypass mode in the case of containment spray.
.8.3.1 Loss-of-Coolant Protection analysis of LOCA and in system tests, it has been verified that, except for very small lant system breaks which can be protected against by the charging pumps followed an orderly shutdown, the effects of various LOCAs are reliably detected by the low ssurizer pressure signal; the emergency core cooling system is actuated in time to vent or limit core damage.
large coolant system breaks, the passive accumulators inject first, because of the id pressure drop. This protects the reactor during the unavoidable delay associated h actuating the active emergency core cooling system phase.
h containment pressure also actuates the emergency core cooling system.
refore, emergency core cooling actuation can be brought about by sensing this other ct consequence of a primary system break; that is, the engineered safety feature uation system detects the leakage of the coolant into the containment. The eration time of the actuation signal of 2.0 seconds, after detection of the sequences of the accident, is adequate.

t fission product release upon sensing elevated containment pressure (Hi-3) to gate the effects of a LOCA.
delay time between detection of the accident condition and the generation of the uation signal for these systems is within the limits provided in Table 16.3-2, well within capability of the protection system equipment. However, this time is short compared hat required for startup of the fluid systems.
analyses in Chapter 15.0 show that the diverse methods of detecting the accident dition and the time for generation of the signals by the protection systems are quate to provide reliable and timely protection against the effects of loss of coolant.
.8.3.2 Steam Line Break Protection emergency core cooling system is also actuated in order to protect against a steam break. A response time of 2.0 seconds is assumed to elapse between sensing low am line pressure (as well as high steam pressure rate) and generation of the uation signal. Analysis of steam line break accidents, assuming this delay for signal eration, shows that the emergency core cooling system is actuated for a steam line ak in time to limit or prevent further core damage for steam line break cases.
itional protection against the effects of steam line break is provided by feedwater ation which occurs upon actuation of the emergency core cooling system. Feedwater isolation is initiated in order to prevent excessive cooldown of the reactor vessel, tect the reactor coolant system boundary, and limit the containment pressure.
itional protection against a steam line break accident is provided by closure of all am line isolation valves in order to prevent uncontrolled blowdown of all steam erators. The generation of the protection system signal (2.0 seconds) is again short, pared to the time to trip the fast-acting steam line isolation valves. The steam line ation valve closure time is system pressure dependent. The closure time curve for steam line isolation valves is located in the Technical Specification Bases.
ddition to actuation of the engineered safety features, the effect of a steam line break ident also generates a signal resulting in a reactor trip on overpower or following ergency core cooling system actuation. However, the core reactivity is further uced by the highly borated water injected by the emergency core cooling system.
analyses in Chapter 15.0 of the steam line break accidents and an evaluation of the tection system instrumentation and channel design show that the engineered safety ture actuation systems are effective in preventing or mitigating the effects of a steam break accident.

functions necessary for safe shutdown are available from instrumentation and trol channels that are associated with the major systems in both the primary and ondary plant. These channels are normally aligned to serve a variety of operational ctions, including startup and shutdown, as well as protective functions. There are no tems dedicated as safe shutdown systems, per se. However, procedures for uring and maintaining the plant in a safe condition can be instituted by appropriate nment of selected systems in the nuclear steam supply system. The discussion of se systems, together with the applicable codes, criteria, and guidelines, is found in er sections of this safety analysis report. In addition, the alignment of shutdown ctions associated with the engineered safety features, which are invoked under tulated limiting fault situations, is discussed in Sections 6.3 and 7.3.
he event of a turbine or reactor trip, loss of offsite power is assumed, and the plant will placed in a hot standby condition. If required by a limiting condition of operation per Callaway Technical Specifications or if recovery from an event will cause the plant to shut down for an extended period of time, the plant will be taken to a cold shutdown D) condition. During the safe shutdown condition, an adequate heat sink is provided emove reactor core residual heat. Boration capability is provided to compensate for on decay and to maintain the required core shutdown margin. Redundancy of tems and components is provided to enable continued maintenance of the hot ndby condition. If required, it is assumed that permanent or temporary repairs can be de to correct or circumvent any failures which might otherwise impede eventually ng the plant to the cold shutdown condition.
instrumentation and control functions which are required to be aligned for ntaining safe shutdown of the reactor, that are discussed in this section and endix 5.4A, are the minimum number under nonaccident conditions. These ctions will permit the necessary operations that will:
- a. Prevent the reactor from achieving criticality in violation of the parameters prescribed in the Callaway Technical Specifications.
- b. Provide an adequate heat sink so that design and safety limits on reactor coolant system temperature and pressure are not exceeded.
designation of systems that can be used for safe shutdown depends on identifying se systems which provide the following capabilities for maintaining a safe shutdown:
- a. Circulation of reactor coolant
- b. Boration
- c. Residual heat removal 7.4-1 Rev. OL-21 5/15
specific systems, together with the necessary associated instrumentation and trols, are identified for both hot standby and cold shutdown in Appendix 5.4A and in tions 7.4.1 and 7.4.2.
ntenance of a shutdown with these systems and associated instrumentation and trols has included consideration of the accident consequences that might jeopardize e shutdown conditions. The accident consequences that are germane are those that uld tend to degrade the capabilities for boration, adequate supply of auxiliary dwater, and residual heat removal.
results of the accident analyses are presented in Chapter 15.0. Of these, the owing produce the consequences that are most pertinent:
- a. Chemical and volume control system malfunction that results in a decrease in the boron concentration in the reactor coolant (uncontrolled boron dilution) (15.4.6)
- b. Loss of normal feedwater flow (15.2.7)
- c. Loss of external electrical load and/or turbine trip (15.2.2 and 15.2.3)
- d. Loss of nonemergency ac power to the station auxiliaries (15.2.6) se analyses show that safety is not adversely affected by these incidents, with the ociated assumptions being that the instrumentation and controls discussed in tion 7.4.1 are available to control and/or monitor shutdown. These available systems allow the maintenance of hot standby even under the accident conditions listed ve, which would tend toward a return to criticality or a loss of heat sink.
ddition to the operation of systems required for safe shutdown, as described below, following general considerations are applicable:
- a. The turbine is tripped (note that this can be accomplished at the turbine as well as inside the control room).
- b. The reactor is tripped (note that this can be accomplished at the reactor trip switchgear as well as inside the control room).
- c. All automatic systems continued functioning (discussed in Sections 7.2 and 7.7).

effect a unit shutdown, the unit will be brought to, and maintained at, a safe shutdown dition under control from the main control room or the auxiliary shutdown control el. Hot standby is defined as the condition in which the reactor is subcritical and the ctor coolant system temperature and pressure are in the normal operating range.
portions of the reactor trip system required to achieve the shutdown condition are cribed in Section 7.2. The system and component controls and monitoring indicators vided on the auxiliary shutdown control panel are listed in Section 7.4.3. The imum systems/controls and monitoring indicators required to maintain a safe hot ndby under the conditions discussed in note 4 of Table 3.11(B)-3, i.e. SSE and loss of ite power, are highlighted below.

Start/stop pump controls located on the auxiliary shutdown trol panel (as well as inside the control room) are provided, as well as control for the control valves.
.1.2 Atmospheric Steam Relief
.1.2.1 Description instrumentation and controls for the atmospheric steam relief system consist of trols, transmitters, and indicators to provide automatic or manual actuation of the er-operated atmospheric steam relief valves (also referred to as the atmospheric am dump valves) to remove reactor heat from the reactor coolant system.
h the safety valves and the power-operated atmospheric steam dump valves are ated upstream of the main steam isolation valves, outside of the containment, and h provide a means of removing reactor heat in a hot standby condition. The safety ves are full-capacity, spring-loaded valves which are actuated by high main steam line ssure. They are described more fully in Section 10.3. The power-operated ospheric steam dump valves, however, are the preferred mode of steam relief to id prolonged operation of the safety valves. The power-operated portion of the relief tem is safety related, except as specifically noted otherwise in Paragraphs h and i ow.
ressure transmitter and pressure controller are provided for each of the steam erators to actuate the atmospheric steam dump valve and control the steam pressure predetermined setting. Manual control capability is provided in the control room, on auxiliary shutdown control panel, and locally for AB-PV-2 and 3 for steam dump valve ulation. The status of the power-operated atmospheric steam dump valves is cated by open and closed indicating lights and by the controller output indication.
- a. Initiating circuits No initiating circuits are required for the self-actuated safety valves. Each atmospheric steam dump valve is automatically actuated to regulate the steam generator pressure via the pressure controller and can be manually 7.4-4 Rev. OL-21 5/15
instrumentation readout for manual system control is described in Section 7.5.
- b. Logic No logic is required for the spring-loaded safety valves. Each atmospheric steam dump valve is individually controlled by its own pressure control loop. Normal atmospheric steam dump valve operation is the automatic mode, but, alternatively, it may be operated in a manual mode.
- c. Bypass No bypass is provided. Placement of the power-operated steam valve controller in the manual mode does not preclude the steam relief functional requirement since the safety relief valves provide a steam pressure relief capability.
- d. Interlock No interlock is provided for the atmospheric steam relief system.
- e. Redundancy Any two of the four atmospheric steam dump valves provide sufficient steam relief for hot standby requirements. Redundancy is accomplished on a system basis since any two of the four associated steam generators are adequate for the heat removal requirements.
- f. Diversity Diversity is accomplished by the spring-loaded safety valves operating as backup to the atmospheric steam dump valves.
- g. Actuated devices The safety valves are self-actuated.
The atmospheric steam dump valves are air operated, fail closed, and require a pressurized gas supply for operation.
- h. Supporting systems The controls for the atmospheric steam dump valves are powered from the Class 1E power system (Section 8.3). The pressurized gas supply required for motive force is normally supplied from the instrument air 7.4-5 Rev. OL-21 5/15
Category I backup gas supply, as described in Section 9.3.1.
- i. Portion of system not required for safety The alarms to the station annunciator and computer are not required for safety.
- j. Design bases information The design bases of the atmospheric steam relief system (in accordance with Section 3 of IEEE Standard 279-1971) are:
- 1. The generating station condition which requires protective action is hot standby heat removal at controlled steam generator pressure, with or without loss of offsite power.
- 2. The range of transient and steady-state conditions of both the energy supply and the environment during normal, abnormal, and accident circumstances throughout which the system must perform:
The equipment is located outside the containment and is designed to withstand the temperature range, relative humidity, and atmospheric pressure for that location (refer to Tables 3.11(B)-1 and 3.11(B)-2 for specific values). The Class 1E power system is discussed in Section 8.3.
- 3. The malfunctions, accidents, or other unusual events which could physically damage protection system components for which provisions must be incorporated to retain necessary protective action:
The atmospheric steam relief system is designed to withstand the effects of earthquake without loss of function. The system is designed and its components are physically located to prevent loss of function from missile damage.
- 4. Minimum performance requirements, including system response times, system accuracies, ranges of the magnitudes, and change of sensed variables to be accommodated until proper conclusion of the protective action is assured:
The atmospheric steam relief controls are analog in nature, and the response of conventional process control equipment adjusted for stable pressure controlling operation is adequate in view of the following:
7.4-6 Rev. OL-21 5/15
intended to prevent safety valve operation when the turbine bypass (steam dump to condenser) system is not available. The requirement is for the power-operated atmospheric steam dump valves to relieve the safety valves from a sustained pressure controlling function in the hot standby mode. Thus, response time and accuracy are not critical for the required performance. The steam generator pressure will be relatively constant (no load steam pressure), with no rapid change required in the mass flow rate from the atmospheric steam dump valves.
- k. Drawings Logic Diagram (refer to Section 1.7).
.1.2.2 Analysis
- a. Conformance to NRC general design criteria
- 1. General Design Criteria 13 and 19 Instrumentation necessary to monitor station variables associated with hot standby is provided with adequate indication in the main control room and on the auxiliary shutdown control panel. Controls for the atmospheric steam relief are provided at each location. A description of the surveillance instrumentation is provided in Section 7.5.
- 2. General Design Criterion 34 The power-operated atmospheric steam dump valves provide an adequate means of venting the steam generators to remove reactor decay heat following reactor trip. Modulation of the power-operated atmospheric steam dump valves provides the desired rate of heat removal from the reactor coolant system to maintain the hot standby condition.
The power-operated atmospheric steam dump system has sufficient redundancy to ensure its intended function, assuming a single failure.
- b. Conformance to NRC regulatory guides
- 1. Regulatory Guide 1.22 The atmospheric steam relief controls can be tested periodically.
7.4-7 Rev. OL-21 5/15
The atmospheric steam relief controls are designed to withstand the effects of SSE without loss of function. The atmospheric steam relief controls are classified seismic Category I, in accordance with the guide.
- c. Conformance to IEEE Standard 279-1971 The controls for the power-operated atmospheric steam relief system conform to the applicable requirements of IEEE Standard 279-1971. The control circuits are designed so that any single failure will not prevent proper protective action (removal of reactor decay heat) when required.
This is accomplished by redundant steam relief systems in that only two of the four valves are needed to provide sufficient capacity. The atmospheric steam dump valves utilize control power from independent Class 1E power systems. The controller for each of the four valves is powered from a separate independent system. Each atmospheric steam dump valve has a separate bottled gas supply system to provide motive power. In order to prevent interaction between the redundant systems, the control channels are wired independently and separated with no electrical connections between control channels.
- d. Conformance to other criteria and standards Conformance to other criteria and standards is indicated in Table 7.1-2.

.2.2 Analysis results of the analysis which determined the applicability to the nuclear steam supply tem cold shutdown systems of the General Design Criteria, IEEE Standard 279-1971, licable regulatory guides, and other industry standards are presented in Table 7.1-2.
.3 SAFE SHUTDOWN FROM OUTSIDE THE CONTROL ROOM standby is a safe and stable plant condition for a reactor plant that incorporates a bined Westinghouse/Areva NSSS. Examination of Condition II, III, or IV events for Westinghouse/Areva NSSS has revealed none that require cool down to cold tdown conditions for safety reasons. Eventual achievement of cold shutdown ditions may be required for long-term recovery. However, there is no safety reason y this must be accomplished in some limited period of time. While the plant is in the standby condition, the auxiliary feedwater system and the steam generator safety ves or atmospheric steam dump valves can be used to remove residual heat to meet safety requirements. The long-term safety grade supply of AFW allows extended ration at hot standby conditions. Boration, from outside of the control room, during hot standby condition is discussed in Section 7.4.3.1.3. Additionally, nothing in the nt design precludes the eventual achievement of cold shutdown, even assuming an E, a loss of offsite power, and the most limiting single failure, if arbitrary restrictions not placed on either the time required to cool down or on permissible operator ons outside the control room.
.3.1 Description mporary evacuation of the control room is required because of some abnormal ion condition, the operators can establish and maintain the station in a hot standby dition from outside the control room through the use of controls located at the iliary shutdown control panel, at the switchgear, or at motor control centers, and other al stations. Hot standby is a stable plant condition reached following a plant tdown. The hot standby condition can be maintained safely for an extended period of

auxiliary shutdown panel room is located in the northeast corner of the auxiliary ding one level below the control room at Elevation 2026. There are two distinct iliary shutdown panels at this location; one panel is associated with instrumentation control circuits used for controlling safe shutdown equipment in train A, and the other el is associated with instrumentation and control circuits used for controlling safe tdown equipment in train B. Both panels are electrically separated and are ociated with the same safety-grade circuits that serve their respective trains. The 7.4-9 Rev. OL-21 5/15
rumentation circuits for the equipment controlled between train B auxiliary shutdown el RP118B and the control room. Switches are provided on RP118B to isolate and ove control from the control room for the train B safe shutdown equipment necessary ake the plant to and maintain the plant in a safe hot standby condition independent of control room. This capability is assured in the event a postulated fire causes damage he control room and subsequent evacuation of the operators. Train B controls and rumentation were selected to be isolated because the controls and instrumentation the turbine-driven auxiliary feedwater pump are located on this panel. A description he control room fire is provided in Section 9.5.1. Refer to Table 7.4-1 for the list of rumentation and controls on RP118B that have an isolation feature.

.3.1.3 Controls for Extended Hot Standby rder to maintain an extended hot standby (greater than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />), additional negative ctivity must be added to the RCS to accommodate the positive reactivity added ugh xenon decay. This can be accomplished by manual control of the normal rging and letdown systems via controls at the auxiliary shutdown panel, motor control ters, switchgears, and control of individual equipment at the device location.
7.4-13 Rev. OL-21 5/15
m through the use of redundant, safety-grade systems only. This is accomplished by ans of the controls and indications on the auxiliary shutdown panel (ASP) and the itional controls listed in Section 7.4.3.1.2 of the FSAR. Prior to approximately hours after reactor shutdown, sufficient boron would be added to the reactor coolant tem (RCS) to cancel the effects of xenon decay. (See Section 5.4A.3.1) ation can be accomplished from outside the control room using only redundant ety-grade equipment by operating one of two ECCS centrifugal charging pumps, ng suction from the refueling water storage tank (RWST), and charging into the RCS ugh either the normal charging path or the boron injection flow path.
he absence of a safety injection (SI) signal, one ECCS centrifugal charging pump uld be started from its switchgear (NB01 or NB02), and isolation of normal letdown m the ASP would cause automatic realignment of pump suction from the volume trol tank (VCT) to the RWST via a VCT low level signal. Charging into the RCS could through the normal charging line, in which all air-operated valves are fail-open. An rnative charging path is the boron injection flow path. The normally closed valves in t path can be opened using local switches at motor control centers NG01B and/or 04C.
provide sufficient volume for the injection of additional borated water to the RCS, a uction of RCS average temperature can be accomplished by manually controlling am release to the atmosphere from the redundant secondary-side atmospheric relief ves. Necessary controls and instrumentation are on the ASP. Under the conditions of S makeup from the RWST, no letdown, and pressurizer level maintained within the mal range, sufficient boron can be added to the RCS to maintain keff 0.99 at all peratures between normal operating temperature and 80°F at any time in core life, uming that the xenon concentration in the core at the time of shutdown was the ilibrium value or less. In addition, sufficient boron can be added in this manner to ntain extended hot standby conditions. Therefore, the Callaway design permits ievement of extended hot standby conditions from outside the control room by means edundant, safety-grade systems and equipment only.
ddition to the normal charging and letdown systems, the systems discussed in endix 5.4A may be used to maintain an extended hot standby by local actions side the control room.
.3.1.4 Design Bases Information ccordance with NRC General Design Criterion 19, the capability of establishing a hot ndby condition and maintaining the station in a safe status in that mode is considered essential function. To ensure the availability of the auxiliary shutdown control panel essential control and indications after control room evacuation, the following design tures have been utilized:

- b. The essential local stations and the auxiliary shutdown control panel, including essential controls and indicators, are designed to comply with applicable portions of IEEE Standard 279-1971.
tain actuations during control room evacuation in a fire event are not automatic and y require recovery actions. Specific detail on Control Room fire is discussed in FSAR tion 9.5.1.
.3.2 Analysis analysis of the control systems required for safe shutdown is found in Section 7.4.1.
discussion below is limited to the auxiliary shutdown control panel and essential al control stations.
- a. Conformance to NRC general design criteria
- 1. General Design Criterion 19 The auxiliary shutdown control panel, in conjunction with the local control stations discussed in Section 7.4.3.1, provides adequate controls and indications located outside the main control room to maintain the reactor and the reactor coolant system in the hot standby condition in the event that the main control room must be evacuated. For discussion on potential cold shutdown capability from outside the main control room, see Section 7.4.2.
- b. Conformance to NRC regulatory guides
- 1. Regulatory Guide 1.22 The auxiliary shutdown control panel and the essential controls and indications are designed to be tested periodically during station operation.
- 2. Regulatory Guide 1.29 The auxiliary shutdown control panel and the essential controls and indications are designed to withstand the effects of an SSE without loss of function or physical damage. The auxiliary shutdown control panel and essential controls and indications are classified Seismic Category I.
7.4-15 Rev. OL-21 5/15
The auxiliary shutdown control panel, and the essential controls and indications, are designed to conform to applicable portions of IEEE Standard 279-1971. The control circuits for the essential controls and indications are designed such that any single failure will not prevent proper protective action when required. This is accomplished by fully redundant controls and indications utilizing independent Class 1E power systems.
To prevent interaction between the redundant systems, the control channels are wired independently and separated with no electrical connections between redundant control systems. Nonessential control circuits and nonessential monitor circuits are electrically isolated from essential controls and indications to prevent jeopardizing the reliability of the systems required for safe shutdown.
- d. Conformance to other guides, criteria, and standards The additional guides, criteria, and standards listed in Table 7.1-2 apply only to the essential instrumentation and controls required for hot standby from outside the control room.

They also allow operator to monitor the effects of an accident through key variables which reflect ether the plant is responding properly to safety measures (and, consequently, whether ESFS is functioning adequately). The information provided by the displays enables operator to estimate the magnitude of an impending threat or to determine the ential for radioactive release, to manually initiate the ESFS in the unlikely event of FS actuation equipment malfunctions or unanticipated post-accident conditions, and llow early indication of necessary actions to take to protect the public.
h parameter monitored for ESFS actuation is displayed in the main control room for rator information. Parameters associated with automatic actuation as well as those uired to enable the operator to initiate manual ESFS actuation are displayed.
dundant analog instrument channels, consisting of transmitters, alarm units, and cators, provide the required information.
omatic actuation of the ESFS is provided by the engineered safety feature actuation tem (ESFAS) described in Section 7.3. The indicators provided for the actuating ameters display the same analog signals monitored by the ESFAS. One indicator is vided for each channel of each parameter.

se used to monitor these parameters during normal operation.
dundant indicators displaying the same parameter are located close enough to each er to enable visual comparison. Comparisons between duplicate information nnels or between functionally related channels will enable the operator to readily ntify a malfunction.
ESFS actuation parameter displays are visually discernible from other displays on panels so that they are readily located in the event of an accident. Color-coded meplates identify all safety-related display instrumentation. Wire and cable are or-coded to differentiate between redundant channels and are physically separated in the plant.
.2.1.2 Analysis SIGN CRITERIA - The ESFS actuation parameter instruments are designed to ain available in the event of a single failure. Redundant indicator channels are ered from redundant Class 1E 120-V vital instrument ac power supplies (Section
.1.1.5). Display instrumentation is capable of operating independent of offsite power.
indication channels are designed in accordance with Sections 4.2, 4.4, 4.6, and 4.10 EEE Standard 279-1971, except that safety-related, Class 1E recorders are required e operable following, but not necessarily during, an SSE. Recorders for ESFAS nnels that monitor safety-related, Regulatory Guide 1.97 Category 1 and 2 ameters at Callaway, as defined in Table 7A-3, do not have to be seismically qualified lass 1E indicators are provided and the recorders are isolated from the Class 1E tions of the channel. All recorders located on the main control board panels must sfy seismic II/I requirements. Refer also to Section 7A.3.3. Wiring associated with ESFS actuation displays is physically separated in accordance with the requirements egulatory Guide 1.75 (refer to Appendix 3A). A detailed comparison of the Callaway nt design to the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.97 is contained in endix 7A.

EQUACY - The ESFS actuation parameter displays provide sufficient information to ble the operator to assess accident conditions and to perform the necessary ration of manual ESFS. Each of the ESFAS parameters is displayed, providing the rator with information on those parameters indicative of accident conditions.
information supplied by the ESFS actuation parameter displays enables the rator to perform manual actuation. Containment sump level indication and refueling er storage tank level indication provide assurance that adequate net positive suction d (NPSH) exists for operation in the sump recirculation mode (Chapter 6.0). Control m ventilation monitors provide the operator with the necessary information on which ase his decision for operation of control room ventilation isolation and filtration.

Containment post-accident iation monitors provide information concerning the radioactive content of the tainment atmosphere. Containment hydrogen concentration indication provides rmation to judge the significance of a metal-water reaction and furnishes the rmation necessary for manual hydrogen control through the use of the combustible control systems.
recorders provided for the variables furnish trend information, such as the tainment pressure and temperature transients, to help predict the course of an ident. In addition, the recorders provide a historical record for post-accident review.
.2.2 System Bypasses
.2.2.1 Description asses within the ESFAS are indicated on the main control boards or ESFAS cabinets ights and are alarmed by the plant computer. Bypass of containment airborne eous radiation actuation or of containment purge isolation for periodic testing and ntenance and the bypass of low reactor coolant pressure actuation of the safety ction system for startup and shutdown are examples of such bypasses. Bypass is omplished in the ESFAS cabinets by turning a key associated with a particular uation bistable. This causes a light to indicate that a bistable within that actuation nnel is bypassed. In the latter example, backlighted switches accomplish the bypass ction from the main control boards. Refer to Section 7.3 for identification of the ass functions and their use.
ass of ESFAS equipment operation can be effected a number of ways. Handswitch ull-to-lock position, loss of control power, breaker in test or not in operating position, closure of manual valves for system or device testing or maintenance are some of means by which an ESFS or vital supporting system might be rendered inoperative a system level. The following describes the system of bypass indication and unciation provided.
number of bypass features or devices provided for operational purposes or routine ing is minimized by design, but wherever such features or devices are an integral part he design and are used more frequently than once a year and the bypass results in eating system functions, a means of indication is provided on the engineered safety ture status panel (ESFSP). Each piece of ESFS equipment (pump, valve, fan, etc.,
uding vital support system equipment) or small group of equipment (subsystem) ch must operate upon automatic or manual ESFS actuation is monitored by a status t indicating availability of that component or group of components. Unavailability is cated by a red indicating light. Thus, a bypass of a component by operation of a trol switch or by "racking out" a breaker which results in a bypass of system function 7.5-4 Rev. OL-21 5/15
FS operation.
status lights for actuated ESFS equipment are arranged in groups in a central ation on the main control boards, in accordance with the ESFS and the train in that tem. In addition to the individual component indication, annunciation is provided on a tem-level basis for each ESFS train. A bypass of one or more components within a tem train actuates a corresponding audible alarm to annunciate the fact that a train of ipment may be inoperable. Final determination of system inoperability is cedurally controlled.
omatic system level indication of bypass and inoperable status, called for by gulatory Guide 1.47, applies only to automatically initiated systems, including those tems which directly support the automatically initiated systems but which themselves y not be automatically initiated because they are normally in the operating mode.
ndering equipment inoperable through the use of features provided strictly for equent evolutions (once a year or less often) is not specifically and automatically cated. Such features include the P-4/Low Tavg bypass-switch, manual valves vided for isolation of equipment for repair, electrical cable connections, or other nual disconnects. However, manual initiation of safety features equipment bypass cation on a system-level basis is provided in the status display panel. Under ministrative control, manual bypass indication can be set up or removed. The omatic indication feature cannot be removed by operator action.
.2.2.2 Analysis SIGN CRITERIA - The system of bypass indication is designed to satisfy the uirements of IEEE Standard 279-1971 (Paragraph 4.13), Branch Technical Position B 21, and Regulatory Guide 1.47. Refer to Table 7.5-3 for a comparison with gulatory Guide 1.47 recommendations. The intent of IEEE Standard 308-1971, veillance Requirements, is satisfied to the extent of indicating control circuit power ilability for ESFS equipment. Other indications responsive to IEEE Standard
-1971 are described in Chapter 8.0.
system of indicating lights for bypasses of ESFS actuation channels or sensor nnels is located in the ESFAS cabinets and is designed to the requirements of IEEE ndard 279-1971. The indicating lights and associated wiring are located in the inets corresponding to the channel indicated and are powered by the power source ociated with the cabinet. The ESFAS and associated bypass indication system are igned as seismic Category I equipment, and also are designed to withstand all tulated environmental conditions, as stated in Tables 3.11(B)-1 and 3.11(B)-2.
EQUACY - The system of status lights for bypass indication, together with other play information available to the operator, and periodic testing provide assurance that operator will be constantly aware of the status of the ESFS. The automatic indication 7.5-5 Rev. OL-21 5/15
ves, which could affect system performance, is immediately made obvious.
bypass indication system is used to supplement administrative procedures by viding indications of safety system availability or status. Administrative procedures not require operator action based solely on the bypass indicators.
design of the bypass indication system allows testing during normal plant operation.
h indicating and annunciating functions can be verified.
cess indicators are provided for ESFS actuation parameters (Section 7.5.2.1.1) so t, for parameters that vary in value during plant operation, closure of a manual valve he transmitter sensing line results in a discrepant indication and response when pared with the corresponding indicators for the redundant channels of the same ameter. The process indicators thus provide indication of impulse line blockage or ass, which obviates the need for position indication for the manual instrument valves.
ESFS actuation parameters which do not vary during operation, sufficient undancy is provided so that more than one manual instrument valve would have to be ced in the wrong position before system level actuation could be blocked.
ersity in actuating parameters and the capability for manual system actuation make it n more improbable that ESFS function can be blocked by improper instrument valve ition. For the preceding reasons, instrument valves are not included in the status t displays.
items that do not affect the ESFS function no indication system is provided for nual valve position or circuit bypass features.
eration of manual valves, use of manual disconnects, or other operations occurring e a year or less frequently, which could impair ESFS performance, are controlled by ministrative procedures. Thus, the probability for system blocks or bypasses existing isclosed between periodic functional tests is minimal.
.2.3 System Status
.2.3.1 Description information important in evaluating the readiness of the ESFS prior to operation and status of active components during system operation is displayed for the operator in main control room. The display information consists of process indicators, indicating ts, alarms, and recorders. The display is sufficient but supplemented by the plant puter outputs.

ture operation. Each of the indicators is driven by an electronic instrument loop sisting of a transmitter, power supply, and any necessary signal conditioners. Where alarm is provided, the instrument loop includes an alarm unit providing a contact put to the plant annunciator. Many of the analog signals are monitored by the plant puter to enable display or logging of status or alarm information. Recorders are vided in lieu of, or in addition to, the indicators where a trend or a time history of the cess variable is desired.
cating lights are provided to monitor equipment status. In addition to the system level ilability and bypass indicating lights described in Section 7.5.2.2, indicating lights are vided at each control switch for equipment.
h motor-driven component (pump, fan, etc.) has ON and OFF indicating lights, each otely controlled open-closed service valve or damper has corresponding EN-CLOSED light indication, and each breaker control switch has its associated n-closed indicating light. A red light is used to indicate an operating status; for mple, motor running, valve fully open, or breaker closed. The green light indicates t the equipment is not in an operating state; for example, motor off, valve fully closed, reaker open. Amber lights, where provided, signify equipment bypassed, locked out, ot in automatic readiness. The indicating lights for a given control circuit are rated from the control circuit power. Thus, loss of control circuit power would be ompanied by a loss of indicating lights for that device.
.2.3.2 Analysis SIGN CRITERIA - Status light switches and wiring are designed to the same ndards as the associated control circuits. The analog process instruments for status rmation which are not required for safety system operation do not require special ign requirements and are, therefore, of standard commercial quality.
EQUACY - Sufficient instrumentation is provided to furnish the plant operator the essary information and the ESFS status to enable accurate assessment of the diness of the ESFS prior to operation and the status of active components during ration. The ESFS instrumentation is arranged by system on the main control board rovide the plant operator with a logical arrangement of information to facilitate his luation of the ESFS status.

.1 INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM instrumentation and control power supply system is described in Section 8.3.1.1.5.
ety-related BOP transmitters not powered directly from the system described in
.1.1.5 are powered by input buffers in the BOP analog equipment cabinets.
h BOP electronic analog input buffer is able to withstand an open circuit, a short uit, or a single or multiple-point ground on the field wiring, without affecting any other rument loop in any separation group.
open circuit would interrupt the field current and drive the buffer output offscale "low."
field bus power supply voltage is not high enough to cause any damage if it were denly unloaded. There would be no consequential damage to the electronics.
hort circuit would apply the full field bus voltage across on-board current-limiting stors designed and provided to limit such current to a safe value. The buffer output uld be driven to the high limit with no consequential damage to the electronics.
ingle ground on an input buffer field line would connect one side of the field bus power ply to system ground through an on-board, current-limiting resistor designed and vided to limit the resultant current to a safe value. The buffer output would take on e arbitrary value, with no consequential damage to the electronics.
round on both field lines of an input buffer would result in a condition similar to an ut line short circuit. The buffer output would be driven to the high limit, but there uld be no consequential damage to the electronics.
.2 RESIDUAL HEAT REMOVAL SYSTEM ISOLATION VALVES
.2.1 Description residual heat removal system (RHRS) isolation valves are normally closed and are ned only for residual heat removal system operation after system pressure is uced to approximately 400 psig and system temperature has been reduced to roximately 350°F.
re are two motor-operated valves in series in each of the two residual heat removal mp suction lines from the reactor coolant system (RCS) hot legs. The two valves rest the RCS (valves 8702A and 8702B) are designated as the inner isolation valves, le the two valves nearest the residual heat removal pumps (valves 8701A and 8701B) designated as the outer isolation valves. The interlock and alarm features provided the outer isolation valves, shown on Figure 7.6-1 (Sheet 1), are identical to those vided for the inner isolation valves, shown on Figure 7.6-1 (Sheet 2), except that 7.6-1 Rev. OL-21 5/15
nufacture than PT 403.
h valve is interlocked so that it cannot be opened unless the RCS pressure is below reset pressure. This interlock prevents the valve from being opened when the RCS ssure plus the residual heat removal pump pressure is above the RHRS design ssure. A control room alarm will actuate if an RHR suction isolation valve is not fully sed and RCS pressure is greater than the design pressures for RHR system ration. Power is removed from these valves above the interlock setpoint to prevent dvertant opening during operation.
ddition, the valves cannot be opened unless the isolation valves in the following lines closed:
- a. Recirculation line from the residual heat exchanger outlet to the suction of the high head safety injection pumps.
- b. RHR pump suction line from the refueling water storage tank.
.2.2 Analysis ed on the scope definitions in IEEE Standards 279-1971 and 338-1971, these criteria not apply to the residual heat removal isolation valve interlocks. However, because of possible severity of the consequences of loss of function, the requirements of IEEE ndard 279-1971 have been applied with the following comments.
- a. For the purpose of applying IEEE Standard 279-1971 to this circuit, the following definitions are used:
(1) Protection system The two valves in series in each line and all components of their interlocking and closure circuits.
(2) Protective action The interlocks which prevent opening an RHRS isolation valve when RCS pressures are above the preset value.
- b. IEEE Standard 279-1971, Section 4.10 The above-mentioned pressure interlock and alarm signals and logic will be tested on-line from the analog signal through to the train signal which activates the slave relay (the slave relay provides the final output signal to 7.6-2 Rev. OL-21 5/15
performed because this could leave only one remaining valve to isolate the low pressure RHRS from the RCS, which would reduce the safety margin.
- c. IEEE Standard 279-1971, Section 4.15 This requirement does not apply, as the setpoints are independent of the mode of operation and are not changed.
Environmental qualification of the valves and wiring is discussed in Section 3.11(N).
.3 REFUELING INTERLOCKS ctrical interlocks (i.e., limit switches), as discussed in Section 9.1.4, are provided for imizing the possibility of damage to the fuel during fuel handling operations.
.4 ACCUMULATOR MOTOR-OPERATED VALVES safety injection system accumulator discharge isolation valves are motor-operated, mally open valves which are controlled from the main control board.
se valves are interlocked so that:
- a. They open automatically on receipt of an SIS with the main control board switch in either the "AUTO" or "CLOSE" position.
- b. They open automatically whenever the RCS pressure is above the safety injection unblock pressure (P-11) specified in the Callaway Technical Specifications only when the main control board switch is in the "AUTO" position.
- c. They cannot be closed as long as an SIS is present.
interconnection of the interlock signals to the accumulator isolation valve meets the owing criteria:
- a. Automatic opening of the accumulator isolation valves when: (1) the primary coolant system pressure exceeds a preselected value (specified in the Callaway Technical Specifications) or (2) a safety injection signal has been initiated. Both signals are provided to the valves.
- b. Utilization of a safety injection signal to automatically remove (override) any bypass features that are provided to allow an isolation valve to be closed for short periods of time when the RCS is at pressure (in accordance with the provisions of the Callaway Technical Specifications).
7.6-3 Rev. OL-21 5/15
reactor at pressure is acceptable.
- c. Removal of power from the valve operators is discussed in Section 6.3.2.
control circuit for these valves is shown on Figure 7.6-2. The valves and control uits are further discussed in Sections 6.3.2 and 6.3.5.
four main control board position switches for these valves provide a "spring return to o" from the open position and a "maintain position" from the closed position.
"maintain closed" position is required to provide an administratively controlled nual block of the automatic opening of the valve at pressure above the safety injection lock pressure (P-11). The manual block or "maintain closed" position is required en performing periodic check valve leakage tests when the reactor is at pressures ve P-11. The maximum permissible time that an accumulator isolation valve can be sed when the reactor is at pressure (above 1000 psig) is specified in the Callaway hnical Specifications.
ministrative control is required to ensure that any accumulator isolation valve which been closed at pressures above the safety injection unblock pressure is reopened, t the circuit breaker is subsequently locked in the open position, and that the main trol board position switch is returned to the "AUTO" position. Valve position alarms sound if the valves are not open when above P-11.
ing plant shutdown, the accumulator isolation valves are closed. To prevent an dvertent opening of these valves during that period, the valve motor circuit breakers be locked in the open position. These valve circuit breakers are closed momentarily ing the startup procedures in order to open the valves, after which the breakers are in locked in the open position.
se normally open, motor-operated valves have alarms, indicating a malpositioning h regard to their emergency core cooling system function during the injection phase).
alarms sound in the main control room.
alarm will sound for any accumulator isolation valve, under the following conditions, en the RCS pressure is above the "safety injection unblocking pressure."
- a. Valve motor-operated limit switch indicates valve not open.
- b. Valve stem-operated limit switch indicates valve not open. The alarm on this switch will repeat itself at given intervals.
itionally, an ESF status panel bypass indication is provided whenever any of these ves leaves the fully open position.
7.6-4 Rev. OL-21 5/15
details of achieving cold leg recirculation following safety injection are given in tion 6.3.2.8 and on Table 6.3-8. Figure 7.6-3 shows the logic which will be used to omatically open the sump valves.
.6 INTERLOCKS FOR RCS PRESSURE CONTROL DURING LOW TEMPERATURE OPERATION basic function of the RCS pressure control during low temperature operation is cussed in Section 5.2.2. As noted in Section 5.2.2, this pressure control includes omatic actuation logic for two pressurizer power-operated relief valves (PORVs). The ction of this actuation logic is to continuously monitor RCS temperature and pressure ditions, with the actuation logic unblocked only when plant operation is at a perature below the reference nil ductility temperature (RNDT). The monitored tem temperature signals are processed to generate the reference pressure limit gram which is compared to the actual monitored RCS pressure. This comparison vides an actuation signal to an actuation device which will cause the PORV to omatically open, if necessary, to prevent pressure conditions from exceeding wable limits. Refer to Figure 7.6-4 for the block diagram showing the interlocks for S pressure control during low temperature operation.
generating station pressure and temperature variables required for this interlock are nnelized as follows:
- a. Pressure and Temperature Inputs to PCV455A (1) Four wide range RCS temperature signals derived from channels in a Train A related protection set.
(2) One wide range RCS pressure signal derived from a channel in a Train A related protection set.
- b. Pressure and Temperature Inputs to PCV456A (1) Four wide range RCS temperature signals derived from channels in a Train B related protection set.
(2) One wide range RCS pressure signal derived from a channel in a Train B related protection set.
wide range RCS temperatures in each protection set are auctioneered in an tioneering device in each protection set to select the lowest reading.
alarm is actuated when the auctioneered low temperature from the RCS wide range perature channels falls within the range of cold overpressure mitigation system 7.6-5 Rev. OL-21 5/15
gation system, which automatically opens the block valve.
lowest reading is selected and input to a function generator which calculates the rence pressure limit program, considering the plant's allowable pressure and perature limits. Also available from the related protection set is the wide range RCS ssure signal. The reference pressure from the function generator is compared to the ual RCS pressure monitored by the wide range pressure channel. The error signal ived from the difference between the reference pressure and the actual measured ssure will first annunciate a main control board alarm whenever the actual measured ssure approaches, within a predetermined amount, the reference pressure. On a her increase in measured pressure, the error signal will generate an actuation signal.
monitored generating station variables that generate the actuation signal for the undant PORV are processed in a similar manner.
on receipt of the actuation signal, the actuation device will automatically cause the RV to open. Upon sufficient RCS inventory letdown, the operating RCS pressure will rease, clearing the actuation signal. Removal of this signal causes the PORV to se.
.6.1 Analysis of Interlocks ny criteria presented in IEEE Standards 279-1971 and 338-1971 do not apply to the rlocks for RCS pressure control during low temperature operation, because the rlocks do not perform a protective function but, rather, provide automatic pressure trol at low temperatures as a back-up to the operator. However, although IEEE ndard 279-1971 criteria do not apply, some advantages of the dependability and efits of an IEEE Standard 279-1971 design have accrued by including selected ments, as noted above, in the protection sets and by organizing the control of the two RVs (either of which can accomplish the RCS pressure control function) into dual nnels.
design of the low temperature interlocks for RCS pressure control is such that tinent features include:
- a. No credible failure at the output of the protection set racks, after the output leaves the racks to interface with the interlocks, will prevent the associated protection system channel from performing its protective function because of the separation of Train B interlocks from Train A (see Figure 7.6-4).
- b. Testing capability for elements of the interlocks within (not external to) the protection system is consistent with the testing principles and methods discussed in Section 7.2.2.2.3, item J. It should be noted that there is an annunciator which provides an alarm when the COMS is armed coincident with a closed position of the motor-operated (MOV) pressurizer relief block 7.6-6 Rev. OL-21 5/15
MOV and alarm used with the second PORV.
- c. A loss of offsite power will not defeat the provisions for an electrical power source for the interlocks because these provisions are through onsite power, which is described in Section 8.3.
.7 ISOLATION OF ESSENTIAL SERVICE WATER (ESW) TO THE AIR COMPRESSORS
.7.1 Description stated in Section 9.2.1.2.2.1, ESW flow to the nonsafety-related air compressors and ociated aftercoolers is maintained following a DBA. Instrumentation and controls are vided to automatically isolate each train of the ESW to the air compressors on high
. ESW to the air compressors can also be isolated by remote manual means.
h control system (one per train of the ESW) utilizes a differential pressure transmitter bistable which senses flow through the associated isolation valve. On high flow icative of gross leakage in the nonseismic portion of the system), the control system omatically closes the isolation valve.
isolation valve will remain in the closed position until the valve is manually reset by operator in the control room.
eans of remote manual isolation is provided in the control room. The status of each ation valve is indicated by open and closed indicating lights in the control room.

.8 ISOLATION OF THE NONSAFETY-RELATED PORTION OF THE COMPONENT COOLING WATER (CCW) SYSTEM
.8.1 Description nonseismic portion of the CCW system is isolated by two isolation valves in series t are provided in both the supply and return lines (see Figure 9.2-3). These valves omatically close upon low-low surge tank level or SIS. The nonseismic portion of the W system can also be isolated by remote manual means.
o independent level transmitters (one per surge tank) are provided. On low-low surge k level, the isolation valves are automatically closed and will remain in the closed ition until the valves are manually reset by the operator in the control room. Each el transmitter and its associated bistable provides isolation signals to one valve in the ply line and one valve in the return line.
isolation valves are air operated and are designed to fail closed on loss of air and ctrical power.

- e. Redundancy Redundancy is accomplished by providing two independent sets of level instrumentation.
- f. Diversity Diversity within the types of instrumentation functions that can initiate isolation of EGHV0069A/B and EGHV0070A/B is accomplished by actuation circuitry associated with a safety injection signal (SIS) or low-low surge tank level. The CCW system is required to mitigate Chapter 6 and Chapter 15 accidents and transients that generate a SIS or rely on RHR for safe shutdown. Diversity for the generation of the SIS is accomplished by actuation on low pressurizer pressure, low steamline pressure, or containment pressure High-1. The CCW system must also be capable of isolating the non-safety, non-seismic piping to the radwaste service loads after a postulated hazard (earthquake, pipe break, etc.) as discussed in Chapter 3.

.10 INTERLOCKS FOR PRESSURIZER PRESSURE RELIEF SYSTEM
.10.1 Description of Pressurizer Pressure Relief System pressurizer pressure relief (PPR) system provides the following:
- a. Capability for RCS overpressure mitigation during cold shutdown, heatup, and cooldown operations to minimize the potential for impairing reactor vessel integrity when operating at or near the vessel ductility limits.
- b. Capability for RCS depressurization following Condition II, III, and IV events (e.g., see Sections 15.5.1 and 15.6.3).
.10.2 Description of Pressurizer Pressure Relief System Interlocks rlocks for the PPR system control the opening and closing of the pressurizer PORVs.
se interlocks provide the following functions:
- a. Pressurizer pressure control via Class 1E automatic actuation circuit (refer to Section 7.7.1.5 for a description).
- b. RCS pressure control during low temperature operation (refer to Sections 5.2.2 and 7.6.6 for a description).
- c. RCS pressure control to achieve and maintain a cold shutdown and to heatup, using equipment that is required for safety (refer to Appendix 5.4A for a description).
interlock functions that provide pressurizer pressure control are derived from cess parameters as shown on Figure 7.2-1, Sheet 11 and the interlock logic functions well as process parameter inputs required for low temperature operation, as shown on ure 7.6-4. The functions shown on Figure 7.6-4 include those needed for the PORV ck valves as well as the pressurizer PORVs to meet both interlock logic and manual automatic operation requirements where manual operation is at the main control rd.

LOW-LOW VCT LEVEL
.11.1 Description suction of the ECCS charging pumps is normally supplied by a line containing two mally open motor-operated valves which connects to the bottom of the volume control k (VCT). These VCT outlet isolation valves are designated as LCV-112B, which is igned to the A train, and LCV-112C, which is assigned to the B train.
h VCT outlet isolation valve is controlled by its train associated level channel. Refer igure 7.6-5 (Sheet 1 of 2) for the logic diagram. When the control switch is in the mal position, the valve receives a signal to close on a low-low level signal from its ociated channel. The valves also receive a signal to close on an SIS signal.
interlock between the above signal and the emergency makeup signal from its train ociated RWST valve position prevents the valve from automatically closing unless its n associated valve from the RWST to the charging pump suction header is open.
s system ensures that the ECCS charging pumps will always have a source of fluid protects them against loss of NPSH and cavitation damage.
h RWST valve is controlled by its train associated level channel. Refer to Figure
-5 (Sheet 2 of 2) for the logic diagram. When the control switch is in the normal ition, the valve receives a signal to open on a low-low level signal from its associated nnel. The valves also receive a signal to open on an SIS signal.
rder to avoid any interface between control grade instrumentation functions and tection grade instrumentation channels which are derived from level transmitters 112 and LT-185, a third VCT level instrumentation channel derived from level smitter LT-149 is provided. This channel performs all the control grade functions so t LT-112 and LT-185 may be dedicated to switchover of ECCS charging pump suction he RWST on low-low VCT level.
.11.2 Evaluation of Switchover of ECCS Charging Pump Suction ddition to having complete electrical separation from channels LT-112 and LT-185, upper level tap from LT-149 is on the VCT vent line at the same pressure point as ssure transmitter PT-115. This ensures adequate physical separation of the different des of equipment. LT-185 and LT-149 share the lower level tap. A postulated rupture his tap would result in a false "empty" indication by the affected transmitter, which uld initiate switchover.

The boron dilution gation system is identical to that reviewed and approved by the NRC for initial nsing of Comanche Peak Units 1 and 2 (Docket Nos. 50-445 and 50-446).
ure 7.6-6 is a simplified system block diagram showing the flux doubling detection tem and the protection system output for isolation valve actuation.
he event of a boron dilution transient, the nuclear instrumentation source range in junction with the flux-multiplication meter will detect a multiplication of the neutron

.13 ECCS CHARGING PUMP MINIFLOW INTERLOCK
.13.1 Description ECCS charging pump miniflow interlock provides the following semi-automatic iflow valve opening and closing features. The interlock automatically closes the iflow valve with the manual main control board switch for the valve in the normal ition when the actual flow from the pump increases above the preset amount ncident with the presence of a latched-in safety injection actuation signal. The rlock also automatically opens the miniflow valve with the manual main control board tch for the valve in the normal position when the actual flow from the pump decreases ow the preset amount coincident with the presence of a latched-in safety injection 7.6-14 Rev.

In ition, a Class 1E recorder is provided on the main control panel to track the neutron during normal operation and during an event.

general design objectives of the plant control systems are:
- a. To establish and maintain power equilibrium between the primary and secondary system during steady state unit operation.
- b. To constrain operational transients so as to preclude unit trip and reestablish steady state unit operation.
- c. To provide the reactor operator with monitoring instrumentation that indicates all required input and output control parameters of the systems and provides the operator with the capability of assuming manual control of the system.
.1 DESCRIPTION plant control systems described in this section perform the following functions:
actor Control System
- a. Enables the nuclear plant to accept a step load decrease of 10 percent and a ramp decrease of 5 percent per minute over the entire power range without reactor trip, steam dump, or pressurizer relief actuation, subject to possible xenon limitations.
- b. Maintains reactor coolant average temperature (Tavg) within prescribed limits by creating the bank demand signals for manually moving groups of RCCAs during normal operation and operational transients. The Tavg control also supplies a signal to pressurizer water level control and steam dump control.
d Control System
- a. Provides for reactor power modulation by manual or automatic (insertion only) control of control rod banks in a preselected sequence and for manual operation of individual banks.
- b. Systems for monitoring and indicating
- 1. Provide alarms to alert the operator if the required core reactivity shutdown margin is not available due to excessive control rod insertion.
- 2. Display control rod position.
7.7-1 Rev. OL-21 5/15
deviation exceeding a preset limit.
nt Control System Interlocks
- a. Prevent further manual withdrawal of the control banks when signal limits are approached that indicate the approach to a DNBR limit or kW/ft limit.
- b. Limit automatic turbine load increase to values for which the NSSS has been designed.
ssurizer Pressure Control ntains or restores the pressurizer pressure to the design pressure +/-35 psi (which is in reactor trip and relief and safety valve actuation setpoint limits) following normal rational transients that induce pressure changes by control (manual or automatic) of ters and spray in the pressurizer. Provides steam relief by controlling the power relief ves.
ssurizer Water Level Control ablishes and maintains the pressurizer water level within specified limits as a function he average coolant temperature. Changes in level are caused by coolant density nges induced by loading, operational, and unloading transients. Level changes are duced by means of charging flow control (manual or automatic) as well as by manual ection of letdown orifices. Maintaining coolant level in the pressurizer within scribed limits by actuating the charging and letdown system provides control of the ctor coolant water inventory.
am Generator Water Level Control
- a. Establishes and maintains the steam generator water level within predetermined limits during normal operating transients.
- b. The steam generator water level control system also maintains the steam generator water level to within predetermined limits and unit trip conditions.
It regulates the feedwater flow rate so that under operational transients the water level for the reactor coolant system does not decrease below a minimum value. Steam generator water inventory control is manual or automatic through the use of feedwater control valves.
am Dump Control (Also Called Turbine Bypass)
- a. Permits the nuclear plant to accept a sudden loss of load without incurring reactor trip. Steam is dumped to the condenser and/or the atmosphere, as 7.7-2 Rev. OL-21 5/15
turbine load reduction transients.
- b. Ensures that stored energy and residual heat are removed following a reactor trip to bring the plant to equilibrium no-load conditions without actuation of the steam generator safety valves.
- c. Maintains the plant at no-load conditions and permits manually controlled cooldown of the plant.
ore Instrumentation vides information on the neutron flux distribution and on the core outlet temperatures elected core locations.
SAC ATWS Mitigation System Actuation Circuitry (AMSAC) automatically initiates iliary feedwater and a turbine trip under conditions indicative of an Anticipated nsient Without Scram (ATWS) event. AMSAC actuation ensures that RCS pressure remain below the ASME B&PV Code Level C service limit stress criteria (3200 psig) r the most severe ATWS events (loss of external electrical load or loss of normal dwater flow), per WCAP-8330 and Reference 3.
.1.1 Reactor Control System reactor control system enables the nuclear plant to follow load changes omatically, including the acceptance of step load decreases of 10 percent and ramp reases of 5 percent per minute over the entire power range without reactor trip, am dump, or pressure relief (subject to possible xenon limitations). The system is o capable of allowing manual restoration of coolant average temperature to within the grammed temperature deadband following a change in load. Manual control rod ration may be performed at any time within the range of defined insertion limits.
omatic rod control operation provides automatic control rod insertion but does not w automatic control rod withdrawal.
reactor control system controls the reactor coolant average temperature by ulation of control rod bank position. The reactor coolant loop average temperatures determined from hot leg and cold leg measurements in each reactor coolant loop.
re is an average coolant temperature (Tavg) computed for each loop, where:

mber pressure) and the highest of the Tavg measured temperatures (which is cessed through a lead-lag compensation unit) from each of the reactor coolant loops stitutes the primary control signal, as shown in general on Figure 7.7-1 and in more ail on the functional diagrams shown in Figure 7.2-1 (Sheet 9). The system is able of allowing manual restoration of coolant average temperature to the grammed value following a change in load. The programmed coolant temperature eases linearly with turbine load from zero power to the full power condition. For an luated Tavg based on positioning of AEHV0038 (high pressure feedwater heater ass valve) the Tavg also supplies a signal to pressurizer level control and steam dump trol and rod insertion limit monitoring.
temperature channels needed to derive the temperature input signals for the reactor trol system are fed from protection channels via isolation amplifiers.
additional control input signal is derived from the reactor power versus turbine load match signal. This additional control input signal improves system performance by ancing response and reducing transient peaks.
core axial power distribution is controlled during load follow maneuvers by changing manual operator action) the boron concentration in the RCS. The control board plays (see Section 7.7.1.3.1) indicate the need for an adjustment in the axial power ribution. Adding boron to the reactor coolant will reduce Tavg and will require the rator to manually withdraw control rods to restore Tavg. This action will reduce power ks in the bottom of the core. Likewise, removing boron from the reactor coolant will ve the rods further into the core to control power peaks in the top of the core.
.1.2 Rod Control System
.1.2.1 Description rod control system receives rod speed and insertion signals from the Tavg control tem. The rod speed demand signal varies over the corresponding range of 3.75 to 45 hes per minute (6 to 72 steps/minute), depending on the magnitude of the input nal. Manual control is provided to move a control bank in or out at a prescribed fixed ed.
ermissive interlock C-5 (see Table 7.7-1) derived from measurements of turbine ulse chamber pressure prevents automatic rod withdrawal when the turbine load is ow 15 percent. In the "AUTOMATIC" mode, the rods are inserted in a predetermined grammed sequence by the automatic programming with the control interlocks (see le 7.7-1).
shutdown banks are always in the fully withdrawn position during normal operation, are moved to this position at a constant speed by manual control prior to criticality. A 7.7-4 Rev. OL-21 5/15
ks.
control banks are the only rods that can be inserted under automatic control. Each trol bank is divided into two groups to obtain smaller incremental reactivity changes step. All RCCAs in a group are electrically paralleled to move simultaneously. There dividual position indication for each RCCA.
wer to CRDMs is supplied by two motor generator sets operating from two separate Volt, three phase busses. Each generator is the synchronous type and is driven by 00-Hp induction motor. The ac power is distributed to the rod control power cabinets ugh the two series-connected reactor trip breakers.
variable speed rod drive programmer affords the ability to insert small amounts of ative reactivity at low speed to accomplish fine control of reactor coolant average perature about a small temperature deadband, as well as furnishing rod insertion at h speed. A summary of the RCCA sequencing characteristics is given below.
- a. Two groups within the same bank are stepped so that the relative position of the groups will not differ by more than one step.
- b. The control banks are programmed so that withdrawal of the banks is sequenced in the following order; control bank A, control bank B, control bank C, and control bank D. The programmed insertion sequence is the opposite of the withdrawal sequence, i.e., the last control bank withdrawn (bank D) is the first control bank inserted.
- c. The control bank withdrawals are programmed such that when the first bank reaches a preset position, the second bank begins to move out simultaneously with the first bank which continues to move toward its fully withdrawn position. When the second bank reaches a preset position, the third bank begins to move out, and so on. This withdrawal sequence continues until the unit reaches the desired power level. The control bank insertion sequence is the opposite.
- d. Overlap between successive control banks is adjustable between 0 to 50 percent (0 and 115 steps), with an accuracy of +/-1 step.
- e. Rod speeds for either the shutdown banks or manual operation of the control banks are capable of being controlled between a minimum of 6 steps per minute and a maximum of 72 (+0, -10) steps per minute.
7.7-5 Rev. OL-21 5/15
dible rod control equipment malfunctions which could potentially cause inadvertent itive reactivity insertions due to inadvertent rod withdrawal (automatic rod withdrawal o longer available), incorrect overlap, or malpositioning of the rods are the following:
- a. Failures in the manual rod controls:
- 1. Rod motion control switch (in-hold-out)
- 2. Bank selector switch
- b. Failures in the overlap and bank sequence program control:
- 1. Logic cabinet systems
- 2. Power supply systems ures in the manual rod controls
- 1. Failure of the rod motion control switch The rod motion control switch is a three-position lever switch. The three positions are "In," "Hold," and "Out." These positions are effective when the bank selector switch is in manual. Failure of the rod motion control switch (contacts failing short or activated relay failures) would have the potential, in the worst case, to produce positive reactivity insertion by rod withdrawal when the bank selector switch is in the manual position or in a position which selects one of the banks.
When the bank selector switch is in the automatic position, the rods would obey the automatic commands and failures in the rod motion control switch would have no effect on the rod motion regardless of whether the rod motion control switch is in "In," "Hold," or "Out" (automatic rod withdrawal is no longer available).
In the case where the bank selector switch is selecting a bank and a failure occurs in the rod motion switch that would command the bank "Out" even when the rod motion control switch was in an "In" or "Hold" position the selected bank could inadvertently withdraw. This failure is bounded in the safety analysis (Chapter 15.0) by the uncontrolled bank withdrawal at subcritical and at power transients. A reactivity insertion of up to 85 pcm/
sec is assumed in the analysis due to rod movement at hot zero power (110 pcm/sec at full power). This value of reactivity insertion rate is consistent with the withdrawal of two banks.
7.7-6 Rev. OL-21 5/15
moved at one time within a power cabinet is not a credible event because the circuit arrangement for the movable and lift coils would cause the current available to the mechanisms to divide equally between coils in the two groups (in a power supply). The drive mechanism is designed so that it will not operate on half current. A second feature in this scenario would be the multiplexing failure detection circuit included in each power cabinet.
This circuit would stop rod withdrawal (or insertion).
The second case considered in the potential for inadvertent reactivity insertion due to possible failures is when the selector switch is in the manual position. Such a case could produce, with a failure in the rod motion control switch, a scenario where the rods could inadvertently withdraw in a programmed sequence. The overlap and bank sequence are programmed when the selector switch is in either automatic or manual.
This scenario is also bounded by the reactivity values assumed in the accident analysis. In this case, the operator can trip the reactor, or the protection system would trip the reactor via power range neutron flux-high, or overtemperature T.
- 2. Failure of the bank selector switch A failure of the bank selector switch produces no consequences when the "in-hold-out" manual switch is in the "Hold" position. This is due to the following design feature:
The bank selector switch is series wired with the in-hold-out lever switch for manual and individual control rod bank operation. With the in-hold-out lever switch in the "Hold" position, the bank selector switch can be positioned without rod movement.
ures in the overlap and bank sequence program control rod control system design prevents the movement of the groups out of sequence as l as limiting the rate of reactivity insertion. The main feature that performs the ction of preventing malpositioning produced by groups out of sequence is included in block supervisory memory buffer and control. This circuitry accepts and stores the ernally generated command signals. In the event of out of sequence input command he rods while they are in movement, this circuit will inhibit the buffer memory from epting the command. If a change of signal command appears, this circuit would stop system after allowing the slave cyclers to finish their current sequencing. Failure of components related to this system will also produce rod deviation alarm and insertion t alarm. Failures within the system such as failures of supervisory logic cards, pulser ds, etc., will also cause an urgent alarm. An urgent alarm will be followed by the owing actions:
7.7-7 Rev. OL-21 5/15
per coils and movable gripper coils; ivation of the alarm light (urgent failure) on the power supply cabinet front panel; and ivation of rod control urgent failure annunciation window on the plant annunciator.
urgent alarm is produced in general by:
gulation failure detector; se failure detector; ic error detector; tiplexing error detector; or rlock failure detector.
- 1. Logic cabinet failures The rod control system is designed to limit the rod speed control signal output to a value that causes the pulser (logic cabinet) to drive the control rod driving mechanism at 72 steps per minute. If a failure should occur in the pulses or the reactor control system, the highest stepping rate possible is 77 steps per minute, which corresponds to one step every 780 milliseconds. A commanded stepping rate higher than 77 steps per minute would result in "GO" pulses entering a slave cycler while it is sequencing its mechanisms through a 780 millisecond step. This condition stops the control bank motion automatically, and alarms are activated locally and in the control room. It also causes the affected slave cycler to reflect further "GO" pulses until it is reset.
Failures that cause the 780 millisecond step sequence time to shorten will not result in higher rod speeds, since the stepping rate is proportional to the pulsing rate. Simultaneous failures in the pulser or rod control system and in the clock circuits that determine the 780 millisecond stepping sequence could result in higher CRDM speed; however, in the unlikely event of these simultaneous multiple failures the maximum CRDM operation speed would be no more than approximately 100 steps per minute due to mechanical limitation. This speed has been verified by tests conducted on the CRDMs.
Failures causing movement of the rods out of sequence:
7.7-8 Rev. OL-21 5/15
uncontrolled withdrawal of Control Bank D (taken as worst case) when operating in the automatic bank overlap control mode with the reactor at near full power output (automatic rod withdrawal is no longer available). The analysis revealed that many of the failures postulated were in a safe direction and that rod movement is blocked by the rod urgent alarm.
- 2. Power supply system failures Analysis of the power cabinet disclosed no single component failures that would cause the uncontrolled withdrawal of a group of rods serviced by the power cabinet. The analysis substantiates that the design of a power cabinet is "fail-preferred" with regard to a rod withdrawal accident if a component fails. The end results of the failure is either that of blocking rod movement or that of dropping an individual rod or rods or a group of rods. No failure, within the power cabinet, which could cause erroneous drive mechanism operation will remain undetected. Sufficient alarm monitoring (including "urgent" alarm) is provided in the design of the power cabinet for fault detection of those failures which could cause erroneous operation of a group of mechanisms. As noted in the foregoing, diverse monitoring systems are available for detection of failures that cause the erroneous operation of an individual control rod drive mechanism.
In summary, no single failure within the rod control system can cause either reactivity insertions or mal-positioning of the control rods resulting in core thermal conditions not bounded by analyses contained in Chapter 15.0.
.1.3 Plant Control Signals for Monitoring and Indicating
.1.3.1 Monitoring Functions Provided by the Nuclear Instrumentation System power range channels are used to measure power level, axial flux imbalance, and ial flux imbalance. Suitable alarms are derived from these signals, as described ow.
ic power range signals are:
- a. Total current from a power range detector (four signals from separate detectors); these detectors are vertical and have a total active length of 10 feet.
- b. Current from the upper half of each power range detector (four signals).
7.7-9 Rev. OL-21 5/15
following (including standard signal processing for calibration) are derived from se basic signals:
- a. Indicated nuclear power (four signals).
- b. Indicated axial flux imbalance (), derived from upper half flux minus lower half flux (four signals).
rm functions derived are as follows:
- a. Deviation (maximum minus minimum of four) in indicated nuclear power.
- b. Upper radial tilt (maximum to average of four) on upper half currents.
- c. Lower radial tilt (maximum to average of four) on lower half currents.
clear power and axial imbalance are selectable for recording on strip charts on the trol board. Indicators are provided on the control board for nuclear power and for al flux imbalance.
axial flux difference (AFD) imbalance deviation alarms are derived from the plant puter which determines the 1-minute averages of each of the operable excore ector outputs to monitor in the reactor core and alerts the operator immediately if one-minute average AFDs for at least two operable excore channels are outside the D limits and thermal power is greater than 50% of rated thermal power. For periods ing which the alarm on axial flux difference is inoperable, the axial flux difference is ged, as defined in Section 16.2.1. No power reduction is required during this period of nual surveillance.
itional background information on the nuclear instrumentation system can be found eference 1.
.1.3.2 Rod Position Monitoring o separate systems are provided to sense and display control rod position as cribed below:
- a. Digital rod position indication system The digital rod position indication system measures the actual position of each control rod, using a detector which consists of discrete coils mounted concentrically with the rod drive pressure housing. The coils are located axially along the pressure housing and magnetically sense the entry and presence of the rod drive shaft through its centerline. For each detector, 7.7-10 Rev. OL-21 5/15
containment electronics (Data A and B) by separate multiconductor cables.
By employing two separate channels of information, the digital rod position indication system can continue to function (at reduced accuracy) when one channel fails. Multiplexing is used to transmit the digital position signals from the containment electronics to the control board display unit.
The control board display unit contains a column of light-emitting-diodes (LEDs) for each rod. At any given time, the one LED illuminated in each column shows the position for that particular rod. Since shutdown rods are always fully withdrawn with the plant at power, their position is displayed to
+/-4 steps only from rod bottom to 18 steps and from 210 steps to 228 steps.
All intermediate positions of the rod are represented by a single "transition" LED. Each rod of the control banks has its position displayed to +/-4 steps throughout its range of travel.
Included in the system is a rod at bottom signal for each rod that operates a local alarm. Also a control room annunciator is actuated when any shutdown rod or control bank A rod is at bottom.
- b. Demand position system The demand position system counts pulses generated in the rod drive control system to provide a digital readout of the demanded bank position.
demand position and digital rod position indication systems are separate systems, safety criteria were not involved in the separation, which was a result only of rational requirements. Operating procedures require the reactor operator to compare demand and indicated (actual) readings from the rod position indication system so as erify operation of the rod control system.
.1.3.3 Control Bank Rod Insertion Monitoring en the reactor is critical, an indication of reactivity status in the core is the position of control bank in relation to reactor power (as indicated by the reactor coolant system p T) and coolant average temperature. Insertion limits for the control banks are ned as a function of reactor power.
purpose of the control bank rod insertion monitor is to give warning to the operator of essive rod insertion. The monitor is comprised of two alarms:
- a. The "low" alarm alerts the operator of an approach to the Rod Insertion Limits ; and
- b. The "low-low" alarm alerts the operator to take actions required by the Technical Specifications to: (a) verify shutdown margin or add boron to the 7.7-11 Rev. OL-21 5/15
described in Section 9.3.4.2.3.4 and (b) restore the control banks to within their insertion limits.
Rod Insertion Limit maintains sufficient core reactivity shutdown margin following ctor trip, provides a limit on the maximum reactivity addition (ejected rod worth) in the kely event of a hypothetical rod ejection, and limits rod insertion so that acceptable lear peaking factors are maintained. Since the amount of shutdown reactivity uired for the design shutdown margin following a reactor trip increases with easing power, the allowable rod insertion limits must be decreased (the rods must be drawn further) with increasing power. Two parameters which are proportional to er are used as inputs to the insertion monitor. These are the T between the hot leg the cold leg, which is a direct function of reactor power, and Tavg, which is grammed as a function of power.
rod insertion monitor uses parameters for each control rod bank as follows:
Z LL = A ( T ) auct + B ( T avg ) auct + C Maximum Value ere:
ZLL = Low-Low alarm setpoint; (T)auct = highest T of all loops; (Tavg)auct = highest Tavg of all loops; A, B, C = constants chosen to maintain rod insertion above the actual Rod Insertion Limit based on physics calculations; and Maximum Value = a limit imposed on ZLL when an individual control rod bank is required to be fully withdrawn based on power level.
control rod bank demand position (Z) is compared to ZLL as follows:
If Z - ZLL D, a low alarm is actuated; and If Z - ZLL E, a low-low alarm is actuated.
ce the highest values of Tavg and T are chosen by auctioneering, a conservatively h representation of power is used in the insertion limit calculation.
value for "D" is chosen to alert the operator of an approach to the Rod Insertion it. The value for "E" is chosen so that the low-low alarm would normally be actuated ore the insertion limit is exceeded.
7.7-12 Rev. OL-21 5/15
ed on power level, is the bank that will produce the alarms. At high power, that would control bank D, whereas at low power it would be control banks A, B, or C. Upon a mand to step rods in, the overlap function ensures that the first bank to insert is the k that is not required to be fully withdrawn. Thus, due to the operation of the overlap ction, the monitor provides the operator with correct notification that the insertion limit eing approached or exceeded.
bank is operated in the individual bank select mode, the overlap counter does not ction. Therefore, the rod insertion monitor does not work correctly for that bank, if er level is such that that bank is required to be withdrawn. This is only done during veillance testing, troubleshooting, or recovery of a partially dropped rod. During such lutions, the operators' attention is directed toward the control rods.
Maximum Value is applied to eliminate invalid alarms when rods are fully withdrawn.
rods can be operated at any position above the Rod Insertion Limit, and be fully drawn. Without the Maximum Value feature, the low alarm would continuously be uated for the control banks that are required to be fully withdrawn due to power level.
ddition, analog instrument loop calibration tolerances could also lead to invalid low-alarms for these banks. During control rod surveillance testing, the Maximum Value ture is also needed to allow the alarms to reset after the surveillance is completed.
ure 7.7-2 shows a block diagram representation of the control rod bank insertion nitor. The monitor is shown in more detail on the functional diagrams shown in ure 7.2-1 (Sheet 9). In addition to the rod insertion monitor for the control banks, the nt computer, which monitors individual rod positions, provides an alarm that is ociated with the rod deviation alarm discussed in Section 7.7.1.3.4 to warn the rator if any shutdown RCCA leaves the fully withdrawn position.
d insertion limits are established by:
- a. Establishing the allowed rod reactivity insertion at full power consistent with the purposes given above.
- b. Establishing the differential reactivity worth of the control rods when moved in normal sequence.
- c. Establishing the change in reactivity with power level by relating power level to rod position.
- d. Linearizing the resultant limit curve. All key nuclear parameters in this procedure are measured as part of the initial and periodic physics testing program.
unexpected change in the position of the control bank under automatic control, or a nge in coolant temperature under manual control, provides a direct and immediate 7.7-13 Rev. OL-21 5/15
en periodically of coolant boron concentration. Variations in concentration during core provide an additional check on the reactivity status of the reactor, including core letion.
.1.3.4 Rod Deviation Alarm position of any control rod is compared to the position of other rods in the bank. A deviation alarm is generated by the digital rod position indication system if a preset deviation limit is exceeded. The deviation alarm of a shut-down rod is based on a set insertion limit being exceeded.
demanded and measured rod position signals are also monitored by the plant puter which provides a visual printout and an audible alarm whenever an individual position signal deviates from the other rods in the bank by a preset limit. The alarm be set with appropriate allowance for instrument error and within sufficiently narrow ts to preclude exceeding core design hot channel factors.
ure 7.7-3 is a block diagram of the rod deviation comparator and alarm system lemented by the plant computer. Additionally, the digital rod position indication tem contains rod deviation circuitry that detects and alarms the following conditions:
- a. When any two rods within the same control bank are misaligned by a preset distance ( 12 steps), and
- b. When any shutdown rod is below the full-out position by a preset distance (18 steps).
.1.3.5 Rod Bottom Alarm rod bottom signal for the control rods in the digital rod position indication system is d to operate a control relay, which generates the "ROD BOTTOM ROD DROP" m.
.1.4 Plant Control System Interlocks listing of the plant control system interlocks, along with the description of their ivations and functions, is presented in Table 7.7-1. The designation numbers for se interlocks are preceded by "C." The development of these logic functions is shown he functional diagrams (see Figure 7.2-1, Sheets 9 through 16).
.1.4.1 Rod Stops d stops are provided to prevent abnormal power conditions which could result from essive control rod withdrawal initiated by operator violation of administrative cedures.
7.7-14 Rev. OL-21 5/15
and C-11 control interlocks identified in Table 7.7-1 are associated with automatic withdrawal which is no longer available at Callaway. The C-3 rod stop derived from rtemperature T and the C-4 rod stop derived from overpower T are also used for ine runback, which is discussed below.
.1.4.2 Automatic Turbine Load Runback omatic turbine load runback is initiated by an approach to an overpower or rtemperature condition. This will prevent high power operation that might lead to an esirable condition, which, if reached, will be protected by reactor trip.
bine load reference reduction is initiated by either an overtemperature or overpower signal. Two-out-of-four coincidence logic is used.
od stop and turbine runback are initiated when T > Trod stop both the overtemperature and the overpower condition.
either condition in general Trod stop = Tsetpoint - Bp ere:
Bp = a setpoint bias ere T setpoint refers to the overtemperature T reactor trip value and the overpower reactor trip value for the two conditions.
turbine runback is continued until T is equal to or less than Trod stop.
s function serves to maintain an essentially constant margin to trip.
.1.5 Pressurizer Pressure Control reactor coolant system pressure is controlled by using either the heaters (in the er region) or the spray (in the steam region) of the pressurizer plus steam relief for e transients.
electrical immersion heaters are located near the bottom of the pressurizer. A tion of the heater group is proportionally controlled to correct small pressure ations. These variations are caused by heat losses, including heat losses due to a 7.7-15 Rev. OL-21 5/15
ssurizer pressure controlled signal demands approximately 100-percent proportional ter power.
spray nozzle is located on the top of the pressurizer. Spray is initiated when the ssure controller spray demand signal is above a given setpoint. The spray rate eases proportionally with increasing spray demand signal until it reaches a maximum ue.
am condensed by the spray reduces the pressurizer pressure. A small continuous ay is normally maintained to reduce thermal stresses and thermal shock and to help ntain uniform water chemistry and temperature in the pressurizer.
wer relief valves limit system pressure for large positive pressure transients. In the nt of a large load reduction, not exceeding the design plant load rejection capability, pressurizer power-operated relief valves might be actuated for the most adverse ditions, e.g., the most negative Doppler coefficient and the maximum incremental rod th. The relief capacity of the power-operated relief valves is sized large enough to t the system pressure to prevent actuation of high pressure reactor trip for the above dition. The automatic actuation circuitry for the PORVs has been upgraded to ss 1E.
lock diagram of the pressurizer pressure control system is shown on Figure 7.7-4.
.1.6 Pressurizer Water Level Control pressurizer operates by maintaining a steam cushion over the reactor coolant. As density of the reactor coolant varies with temperature, the steam water interface is usted to compensate for cooling density variations with relatively small pressure urbances.
water inventory in the reactor coolant system is maintained by the chemical and ume control system. During normal plant operation, the charging flow varies to duce the flow demanded by the pressurizer water level controller. The pressurizer er level is programmed as a function of coolant average temperature, with the highest rage temperature (auctioneered) being used. The pressurizer water level decreases he load is reduced from full load. This is a result of coolant contraction following grammed coolant temperature reduction from full power to low power. The grammed level is designed to match as nearly as possible the level changes resulting m the coolant temperature changes.
control pressurizer water level during startup and shutdown operations, the charging is manually regulated from the main control room. The letdown line isolation valves closed on low pressurizer level.
lock diagram of the pressurizer water level control system is shown on Figure 7.7-5.
7.7-16 Rev. OL-21 5/15
h steam generator is equipped with a three-element feedwater flow controller which ntains a programmed water level which is a function of turbine load. The e-element feedwater controller regulates the feedwater valve by continuously paring the feedwater flow signal, the water level signal, the programmed level, and pressure compensated steam flow signal. The feedwater pump speed is varied to ntain a programmed pressure differential between the steam header and the dwater pump discharge header. The speed controller continuously compares the ual P with a programmed Pref which is a linear function of steam flow. The median hree feedwater header pressure inputs is used to develop a feedwater header ssure input to the digital feedwater control system (DFWCS). Similarly, the median of e steam header pressure inputs is used to develop a steam header pressure input to digital feedwater control system, and the median of three main feedwater pump ed inputs is used to develop a pump speed input to the digital feedwater control tem. This allows the loss of a single input without adversely impacting the control tem. Failure or excessive drifting of an input results in the control system switching to average of the remaining two signals. Continued delivery of feedwater to the steam erators is required as a sink for the heat stored and generated in the reactor following actor trip and turbine trip. An override signal (P-4 coincident with low Tavg) closes all dwater valves, if not bypassed, when the average coolant temperature is below a en temperature and the reactor has tripped (not part of the primary success path for accidents mitigation in Chapter 15). Manual override of the feedwater control tem is available at all times. Five means are provided to override the control signal m the steam generator water level control system:
- a. Manual control
- b. Low-low SG water level (ensures AFW delivery for residual and decay heat removal)
- d. P-4 coincident with low Tavg (back-up protection against excessive RCS cooldown)
- e. SIS (lessens severity of secondary line breaks inside containment by isolating main feedwater flow).
se override features are shown on Figure 7.2-1, sheets 13 and 14.
en the nuclear plant is operating at very low power levels (as during startup), the am and feedwater flow signals will not be usable for control. Therefore, a secondary omatic control system is provided for operation at low power. This system uses the 7.7-17 Rev. OL-21 5/15
osition a bypass valve which is in parallel with the main feedwater regulating valve.
tchover from the bypass feedwater control system (low power) to the main feedwater trol system is initiated by the operator at approximately 25 percent power, and can be pleted either automatically by the DFWCS or manually by the control room rators.
ck diagrams of the steam generator water level control system and the main dwater pump speed control system are shown in Figures 7.7-6 and 7.7-7.
.1.8 Steam Dump Control steam dump system, together with control rod movement, is designed to accept a percent loss of net load without tripping the reactor.
automatic steam dump system is able to accommodate this abnormal load rejection to reduce the effects of the transient imposed upon the reactor coolant system. By assing main steam directly to the condenser, an artificial load is thereby maintained he primary system. The rod control system can then reduce the reactor temperature new equilibrium value without causing overtemperature and/or overpressure ditions. The steam dump steam flow capacity is 40 percent of full load steam flow at load steam pressure.
e difference between the reference Tavg (Tref) based on turbine impulse chamber ssure and the lead-lag compensated auctioneered Tavg exceeds a predetermined ount, and the interlock mentioned below is satisfied, a demand signal will actuate the am dump to maintain the reactor coolant system temperature within control range l a new equilibrium condition is reached.
prevent actuation of steam dump on small load perturbations, an independent load ction sensing circuit is provided. This circuit senses the rate of decrease in the ine load, as detected by the turbine impulse chamber pressure. It is provided to lock the dump valves when the rate of load rejection exceeds a preset value responding to a 10-percent step load decrease or a sustained ramp load decrease of ercent per minute.
lock diagram of the steam dump control system is shown on Figure 7.7-8.
.1.8.1 Load Rejection Steam Dump Controller s circuit prevents a large increase in reactor coolant temperature following a large, den load decrease. The error signal is a difference between the lead-lag pensated auctioneered Tavg and the reference Tavg based on turbine impulse mber pressure.
7.7-18 Rev. OL-21 5/15
normal power operation as described in Section 10.4.7.2.3, or (b) Tavg coastdown ration as described in Section 15.0.2.2. In the case of normal power reduced Tavg ration, the evaluated value of Tavg must be implemented in the control system for per controller function. For Tavg coastdown operation, the evaluated value of Tavg is required to be implemented; however, the load rejection controller gain and steam mp valve open setpoints will require adjustment as described in Section 15.0.2.2.
Tavg signal is the same as that used in the reactor coolant system. The lead-lag pensation for the Tavg signal is to compensate for lags in the plant thermal response in valve positioning. Following a sudden load decrease, Tref is immediately reased and Tavg tends to increase, thus generating an immediate demand signal for am dump. Since control rods are available in this situation, steam dump terminates he error comes within the maneuvering capability of the control rods.
.1.8.2 Plant Trip Steam Dump Controller owing a reactor trip, the load rejection steam dump controller is defeated, and the nt trip steam dump controller becomes active. Since control rods are not available in situation, the demand signal is the error signal between the lead-lag compensated tioneered Tavg and the no-load reference Tavg. When the error signal exceeds a determined setpoint, the dump valves are tripped open in a prescribed sequence. As error signal reduces in magnitude, indicating that the RCS Tavg is being reduced ard the reference no-load value, the dump valves are modulated by the plant trip troller to regulate the rate of removal of decay heat and thus gradually establish the ilibrium hot shutdown condition.
.1.8.3 Steam Header Pressure Controller sidual heat removal at operating temperature is maintained by the steam generator ssure controller (manually selected) which controls the amount of steam flow to the densers. This controller operates a portion of the same steam dump valves to the densers which are used during the initial transient following turbine or reactor trip on d rejection.
.1.9 Incore Instrumentation incore instrumentation system consists of chromel-alumel thermocouples (described ection 18.2.13.2) at fixed core outlet positions and movable miniature neutron ectors which can be positioned at the center of selected fuel assemblies, anywhere ng the length of the fuel assembly vertical axis. The basic system for insertion of se detectors is shown in Figure 7.7-9.
7.7-19 Rev. OL-21 5/15
omel-alumel thermocouples are threaded into guide tubes that penetrate the reactor sel head through seal assemblies, and terminate at the exit flow end of the fuel emblies. The thermocouples are provided with two primary seals--a conoseal and pression-type seal from conduit to head. Thermocouple readings are monitored by computer.
.1.9.2 Movable Neutron Flux Detector Drive System iature fission chamber detectors can be remotely positioned in retractable guide bles to provide flux-mapping of the core. The stainless steel detector shell is welded he leading end of the helical wrap drive cable and to stainless steel sheathed coaxial le. The retractable thimbles, into which the miniature detectors are driven, are hed into the reactor core through conduits which extend from the bottom of the ctor vessel down through the concrete shield area and then up to a thimble seal table.
ir distribution over the core is nearly uniform with about the same number of thimbles ated in each quadrant.
thimbles are closed at the leading ends, are dry inside, and serve as the pressure rier between the reactor water pressure and the atmosphere. For each thimble, an ne magnetic isolation ball check valve, located above the seal table, provides a ond barrier between the reactor water pressure and the atmosphere. Mechanical ls between the retractable thimbles and the conduits are provided at the seal table.
ing reactor operation, the retractable thimbles are stationary. They are extracted nward from the core during refueling to avoid interference within the core. A space ve the seal table is provided for the retraction operation.
drive system for the insertion of the miniature detectors consists basically of drive emblies, 6-path transfer assemblies, and 15-path transfer assemblies, as shown in ure 7.7-9. The drive system pushes hollow helical wrap drive cables into the core the miniature detectors attached to the leading ends of the cables and small meter sheathed coaxial cables threaded through the hollow centers back to the ends he drive cables. Each drive assembly consists of a gear motor which pushes a helical p drive cable and a detector through a selective thimble path by means of a special e box and includes a storage device that accommodates the total drive cable length.
h detector has access to all thimble locations via the 6- and 15-path rotary emblies.
.1.9.3 Control and Readout Description control and readout system provides means for inserting the miniature neutron ectors into the reactor core and withdrawing the detectors while plotting neutron flux sus detector position. The control system is located in the control room. Limit tches in each transfer device provide feedback of path selection operation. Each r box drives a resolver for position feedback. One 6-path transfer selector is provided 7.7-20 Rev. OL-21 5/15
path transfer is also provided for each drive unit that is then used to route a detector any one of up to 15 selectable paths. A common path is provided to permit cross bration of the detectors.
control room contains the necessary equipment for control, position indication, and recording for each detector.
lux-mapping" consists, briefly, of selecting flux thimbles in given fuel assemblies at ous core quadrant locations. The detectors are driven to the top of the core and pped automatically. An x-y plot (position versus flux level) is initiated with the slow drawal of the detectors through the core from top to a point below the bottom. In a ilar manner, other core locations are selected and plotted. Each detector provides al flux distribution data along the center of a fuel assembly.
ious radial positions of detectors are then compared to obtain a flux map for a region he core.
number and location of these thimbles have been chosen to permit measurement of al-to-average peaking factors to an accuracy of +/-5 percent (95-percent confidence).
asured nuclear peaking factors will be increased by 5 percent to allow for this uracy. If the measured power peaking is larger than acceptable, reduced power ability will be indicated.
erating plant experience has demonstrated the adequacy of the incore rumentation in meeting the design bases stated.
.1.9.4 Power Distribution Monitoring System an enhancement to power distribution measurement and indication capability, the er distribution monitoring system (PDMS) is provided, which consists of a set of pled but independent computer software programs that execute on one or more kstations to generate an on-line, three-dimensional indication of the core power ribution. The PDMS uses the flux map together with a three-dimensional analytical del to yield the continuously measured three-dimensional power distribution. The vable incore neutron detectors are used to calibrate the PDMS.
.1.10 Boron Concentration Monitoring System boron concentration monitoring system utilizes a sampler assembly unit which tains a neutron source and neutron detector located in a shield tank. A thermal tron absorption technique is used. Piping within the shield tank is arranged to vide coolant sample flow between the neutron source and the neutron detector.
utrons originating at the source are thermalized in the sample and the surrounding derator. These neutrons then pass through the sample and impinge upon the ector. The number of neutrons which survive the transit from the source to the 7.7-21 Rev. OL-21 5/15
centration is calculated by monitoring the neutron countrate in conjunction with the per transfer function. The neutron cross-section of the boron in the sample is also a ction of the neutron energy and, subsequently, the sample temperature. Therefore, sample temperature is also monitored and the transfer function from the neutron ntrate to boron concentration modified to compensate for the variance of perature.
processor assembly is used to convert the neutron countrate and temperature data m the sampler assembly to parts per million (ppm) of boron, and to prepare the data local and remote display. The system characteristics are listed in Table 7.7-2.
- a. Sampler assembly The sampler assembly consists of a polyethylene cylinder encased in a stainless steel liner (see Figure 7.7-10). The polyethylene serves as a neutron moderator and shield. A cavity (source tube) is located in the center of the shield into which is inserted a neutron source on the end of a polyethylene rod (source plug). Immediately adjacent to the source tube is a second larger cavity into which an annulus assembly and a top plug assembly are inserted. Details of these two assemblies are shown in Figure 7.7-11.
The annulus assembly consists of two concentric tubes with top and bottom plates. A neutron detector is positioned inside the smaller tube.
The coolant sample is circulated between the concentric tubes. The sample is brought into and taken out of the annular region via tubes provided for connection to plant piping. The entire assembly is made of stainless steel.
The top plug assembly consists of a polyethylene plug with appropriate ports for the input and output tubes and the detector signal cable. A stainless steel top plate is provided for mounting to the sampler assembly.
- b. Processor assembly The processor assembly controls the operation of the system. It processes the neutron countrate and temperature data from the sampler assembly, displays the calculated boron concentration, and transmits the result for remote display. A block diagram which depicts the functional operation of the processor assembly is shown in Figure 7.7-12. The neutron countrate and sample temperature measurements are processed to a microprocessor. The microprocessor repeatedly solves an algorithm to convert the input information to a boron concentration measurement. In order to make the above calculation, several constants are required.
These constants are determined by calibration and are entered in the 7.7-22 Rev. OL-21 5/15
presents the calculated boron concentration in units of ppm in integer format.
- c. Remote display assembly The function of this unit is to display the boron concentration at a location (usually in the control room) remote from the processor assembly. This remote display may be located up to 1,000 feet from the processor assembly. Boron concentration data generated at the process assembly is transmitted over a twisted shielded pair. The remote display assembly contains the circuits necessary to decode and display the data.
The boron concentration monitoring system is designed for use as an advisory system. It is not designed as a safety system or component of a safety system. The boron concentration monitoring system is not part of a control element or control system, nor is it designed for this use. No credit is taken for this system in any accident analysis. Therefore, redundancies of measurement components, self checking subsystems, malfunction annunciations, and diagnostic circuitry are not included in this system.
However, watchdog circuitry provides the operator with appropriate indication if the data becomes stale or frozen. As a general operating aid, it provides information as to when additional check analyses are warranted, rather than a basis for fundamental operating decisions. During normal plant operations, the boron concentration varies between 0 and 1,800 ppm.
The boron concentration monitoring system operates within a +/-10 ppm range.
.1.11 ATWS Mitigation System Actuation Circuitry ATWS Mitigation System Actuation Circuitry (AMSAC) automatically initiates iliary feedwater flow, isolates Steam Generator blowdown and sample lines, and ates a turbine trip under conditions indicative of an Anticipated Transient Without am (ATWS) event.
.1.11.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AMSAC equipment is located in the control room and consists of logic assemblies, ation devices, and interconnecting cables interfacing with other plant equipment.
r Reactor Protection System (RPS) narrow range steam generator level loops and RPS turbine impulse pressure loops provide inputs to AMSAC from the 7300 racks.
AMSAC logic outputs go to the Balance of Plant (BOP) Engineered Safety Features uation System (ESFAS) and Turbine Generator ElectroHydraulic Control (EHC) inets.
7.7-23 Rev. OL-21 5/15
below the AMSAC setpoint (9% of span) for more than 25 seconds and both turbine ulse pressure signals are above 40% reactor power (1432 MWt), which enables the 0 permissive. The AMSAC is armed (C-20 permissive) above 40% reactor power disabled 360 seconds after 1 out of 2 power signals falls below 40%. The 25 second SAC time delay allows the RPS to operate first. Whereas AMSAC must be armed ve 40% reactor power, the actual setpoint has been established as 34.9% reactor er to allow for instrument loop inaccuracy.
AMSAC actuation causes the BOP-ESFAS system to start the AFW pumps, close the am generator blowdown isolation valves and close the steam generator sample ation valves. The safety-related systems (RPS and BOP-ESFAS) are isolated from SAC through qualified isolation devices, as shown on Figure 7.7-16. AMSAC also vides signals to the EHC cabinets which energize the 125 Vdc trip bus and trip the ine.
SAC provides two main control board annunciators and several local indicating lights.
e control room annunciator (normally de-energized; energize to alarm) indicates that AMSAC actuation will occur after a 25 second time delay (AMSAC pre-trip alarm) and other annunciator (normally energized; de-energize to alarm) is an AMSAC panel ble alarm that indicates several miscellaneous AMSAC trouble conditions (e.g., C-20 missive circuitry fails to arm above 40% reactor power, master bypass switch closed test or maintenance, operating bypass switch closed for testing individual logic inputs, ctronic module out of service, monitor module logic test, loss of power supply, or self gnostics indicate logic assembly failure).
local indicating lights on the AMSAC logic cabinet include:
- a. AMSAC pre-trip light
- b. AMSAC panel trouble light (illuminated when any of the above AMSAC panel trouble control room annunciator conditions exist)
- c. 5 bypass lights (one master bypass light, 3 individual logic assembly bypass lights, and one operating bypass light for testing individual logic inputs)
- d. AMSAC logic trouble light (illuminated when any of the logic assemblies fail or when the C-20 permissive circuitry fails to arm above 38% reactor power)
- e. AMSAC armed light (C-20 permissive)
- f. power supply trouble light
- g. 9 logic assembly, individual relay status (partial trip) lights 7.7-24 Rev. OL-21 5/15
- i. electronic module out of service light SAC cannot be manually reset by the operators until after its mitigating actions are pleted. AMSAC actuates automatically; there is no manual AMSAC initiation.
SAC is automatically armed above 40% power and bypassed below 40% power.
SAC initiates auxiliary feedwater flow within 90 seconds of an ATWS event and a ine trip within 30 seconds of an ATWS event (including sensor and relay delays).
SAC utilizes three identical logic assemblies, diverse from the SSPS, and a 2 out of 3 uation logic to prevent inadvertent trips due to the AMSAC circuitry and improve ability. Testing of AMSAC through the final actuation devices will be performed every eling outage.
erences 3-5 provide additional discussions on AMSAC diversity from the RPS, logic er supplies, safety-related interfaces via Class 1E isolation devices, graded QA gram, maintenance and testing bypasses via permanently installed bypass switches unciated by the previously mentioned trouble alarm, electrical independence and sical separation from the RPS, testability at power in bypass, and completion of gative action once initiated. The steam generator level sensors used for input to SAC are different than those used to drive the steam generator level control system, reby precluding adverse control system interactions. The logic power supply, 125
, is independent from the RPS power supplies. AMSAC is capable of performing its nded function upon a loss of offsite power. Removal of the C-20 permissive signal is ayed by 360 seconds to avoid blocking AMSAC before it can perform its function in event a turbine trip occurs. Existing protection system level transmitters, sensing s, and sensor power supplies are used for input to AMSAC. Input isolation is attained 7300 isolation cards; output isolation is attained via isolation relays before going to BOP-ESFAS. AMSAC output can be disabled via the master bypass switch to avoid uation during maintenance and testing. Each of the three logic assemblies is also vided with an individual bypass switch to permit troubleshooting and repair. The AFW uation and turbine trip relay contacts are normally open; these are energize to trip ctions.

.2 ANALYSIS plant control systems are designed to assure high reliability in any anticipated rational occurrences. Equipment used in these systems is designed and constructed a high level of reliability.
per positioning of the control rods is monitored in the control room by bank angements of the individual position columns for each RCCA. A rod deviation alarm ts the operator of a deviation of one RCCA from the other rods in that bank position.
7.7-28 Rev. OL-21 5/15
tom alarm signal is provided to the control room for each RCCA. Four excore long ion mbers also detect asymmetrical flux distribution indicative of rod misalignment.
erall reactivity control is achieved by the combination of soluble boron and RCCAs.
g-term regulation of core reactivity is accomplished by adjusting the concentration of ic acid in the reactor coolant. Short-term reactivity control for power changes is omplished by the RCCAs.
axial core power distribution is controlled by moving the control rods through nges in RCS boron concentration. Adding boron will reduce Tavg and require the rator to manually withdraw control rods, thereby reducing the amount of power in the tom of the core. This allows power to redistribute toward the top of the core.
ducing the boron concentration causes the rods to move into the core, thereby ucing the power in the top of the core. As a result, power is redistributed toward the tom of the core.
plant control systems will prevent an undesirable condition in the operation of the nt that, if reached, will be protected by reactor trip. The description and analysis of protection is covered in Section 7.2. Worst-case failure modes of the plant control tems are postulated in the analysis of off-design operational transients and accidents ered in Chapter 15.0, such as, the following:
- a. Uncontrolled RCCA bank withdrawal from a subcritical or low power startup condition.
- b. Uncontrolled RCCA bank withdrawal at power.
- c. RCCA misoperation.
- d. Loss of external electrical load and/or turbine trip.
- e. Loss of all nonemergency ac power to the station auxiliaries.
- g. Excessive increase in secondary steam flow.
- h. Inadvertent opening of a steam generator relief or safety valve.
se analyses show that a reactor trip setpoint is reached in time to protect the health safety of the public under those postulated incidents and that the resulting coolant peratures produce a DNBR well above the applicable limiting value. Thus, there will no cladding damage and no release of fission products to the RCS under the umption of these postulated worst-case failure modes of the plant control system.
7.7-29 Rev. OL-21 5/15
ome cases, it is advantageous to employ control signals derived from individual tection channels through isolation amplifiers contained in the protection channel. As h, a failure in the control circuitry does not adversely affect the protection channel.
t results have shown that a short circuit or the application (credible fault voltage from in the cabinets) of 120 Volt ac or 140 Volt dc on the isolated output portion of the uit (nonprotection side of the circuit) will not affect the input (protection) side of the uit.
ere a single random failure can cause a control system action that results in a erating station condition requiring protective action and can also prevent proper on of a protection system channel designed to protect against the condition, the aining redundant protection channels are capable of providing the protective action n when degraded by a second random failure. This meets the applicable uirements of Section 4.7 of IEEE Standard 279-1971.
pressurizer pressure channels needed to derive the protection signals are ctrically isolated from control.
.2.2 Response Considerations of Reactivity actor shutdown with control rods is completely independent of the control functions ce the trip breakers interrupt power to the CRDMs, regardless of existing control nals. The design is such that the system can withstand accidental withdrawal of trol groups or unplanned dilution of soluble boron without exceeding acceptable fuel ign limits. The design meets the requirements of GDC-25.
single electrical or mechanical failure in the rod control system could cause the idental withdrawal of a single RCCA from the partially inserted bank at full power ration. The operator could deliberately withdraw a single RCCA in the control bank; feature is necessary in order to retrieve a rod, should one be accidentally dropped.
he extremely unlikely event of simultaneous electrical failures which could result in gle RCCA withdrawal, rod deviation would be displayed on the plant annunciator, and individual rod position readouts would indicate the relative positions of the rods in the
- k. Withdrawal of a single RCCA by operator action, whether deliberate or by a bination of errors, would result in activation of the same alarm and the same visual cations.
h bank of control rods (A-D) and shutdown banks SA and SB (See Figure 4.3-36) in system are divided into two groups (group 1 and group 2) of up to four or five chanisms each. In the banks with two groups, the rods comprising a group operate in allel through multiplexing thyristors. The two groups in these banks move uentially so that the first group is within one step of the second group in the bank.
group 1 and group 2 power circuits are installed in different cabinets, as shown in ure 7.7-14, which also shows that one group is within one step (5/8 inch) of the other 7.7-30 Rev. OL-21 5/15
veable gripper, and lift coils of a mechanism is required to withdraw the RCCA ched to the mechanism.
ce the four stationary grippers, moveable gripper, and lift coils associated with the CAs of a rod group are driven in parallel, any single failure which could cause rod hdrawal would affect a minimum of one group of RCCAs. Mechanical failures are in direction of insertion, or immobility.
ure 7.7-15 illustrates the design features that ensure that no single electrical failure ld cause the accidental withdrawal of a single RCCA from the partially inserted bank ull power operation.
ure 7.7-15 shows the typical parallel connections on the lift, movable, and stationary s for a group of rods. Since single failures in the stationary or movable circuits will ult in dropping or preventing rod (or rods) motion, the discussion of single failure will addressed to the lift coil circuits: 1) due to the method of wiring the pulse sformers which fire the lift coil multiplex thyristors, three of the four thyristors in a rod up could remain turned off when required to fire, if for example the gate signal lead ed open at point X1. Upon "up" demand, one rod in group 1 and four rods in group 2 uld withdraw. A second failure at point X2 in the group 2 circuit is required to withdraw RCCA; 2) timing circuit failures will affect the four mechanisms of a group or the ht mechanisms of the bank and will not cause a single rod withdrawal; and 3) more n two simultaneous component failures are required (other than the open wire ures) to allow withdrawal of a single rod.
identified multiple failure involving the least number of components consists of open uit failure of the proper two out of 16 wires connected to the gate of the lift coil istors. The probability of open wire (or terminal) failure is 0.016 x 10-6 per hour by
-HDB-217A. These wire failures would have to be accompanied by failure, or egard, of the indications mentioned above. The probability of this occurrence is, refore, too low to have any significance.
ncerning the human element, to erroneously withdraw a single RCCA, the operator uld have to improperly set the bank selector switch, the lift coil disconnect switches, the in-hold-out switch. In addition, the three indications would have to be egarded or ineffective. Such series of errors would require a complete lack of erstanding and administrative control. A probability cannot be assigned to a series of rs such as these.
rod position indication system provides direct visual displays of each control rod embly position. The plant computer alarms for deviation of rods from their banks. In ition, a rod insertion limit monitor provides an audible and visual alarm to warn the rator of an approach to an abnormal condition due to dilution. The low-low insertion t alarm alerts the operator to follow emergency boration procedures. The facility 7.7-31 Rev. OL-21 5/15
event of a single malfunction of either system.
important feature of the control rod system is that insertion is provided by gravity fall he rods.
ll analyses involving reactor trip, the single, highest worth RCCA is postulated to ain untripped in its full out position.
e means of detecting a stuck control rod assembly is available from the actual rod ition information displayed on the control board. The control board position readouts, for each rod, give the plant operator the actual position of the rod in steps. The cations are grouped by banks (e.g., control bank A, control bank B, etc.) to indicate he operator the deviation of one rod with respect to other rods in a bank. This serves a means to identify rod deviation.
plant computer monitors the actual position of all rods. Should a rod be misaligned m the other rods in that bank by more than 12 steps, the rod deviation alarm is uated. Misaligned RCCAs are also detected and alarmed in the control room via the tilt monitoring system, which is independent of the plant computer.
ated signals derived from the nuclear instrumentation system are compared with one ther to determine if a preset amount of deviation of average power level has urred. Should such a deviation occur, the comparator output will operate a bistable to actuate a control board annunciator. This alarm will alert the operator to a power alance caused by a misaligned rod. By use of individual rod position readouts, the rator can determine the deviating control rod and take corrective action. The design he plant control systems meets the requirements of GDC-23.

.2.3 Step Load Changes Without Steam Dump plant control system restores equilibrium conditions, without a trip, following a percent step reduction in load demand, over the entire power range for automatic trol. Steam dump is blocked for load decrease less than or equal to 10 percent. A d demand greater than full power is prohibited by the turbine control load limit ices.
plant control system minimizes the reactor coolant average temperature deviation ing the transient within a given value and is capable of allowing manual restoration of rage temperature to the programmed setpoint. Excessive pressurizer pressure ations are prevented by using spray and heaters and power relief valves in the ssurizer.
7.7-32 Rev. OL-21 5/15
percent increase in load to 100 percent. Since automatic rod withdrawal is not ilable at Callaway, any overshoot by the automatic rod control system is not possible.
.2.4 Loading and Unloading mp unloading of 5 percent per minute can be accepted over the entire power range er automatic control without tripping the plant. The function of the control system is maintain the coolant average temperature as a function of turbine-generator load.
coolant average temperature increases during loading and causes a continuous urge to the pressurizer as a result of coolant expansion. The sprays limit the resulting ssure increase. Conversely, as the coolant average temperature is decreasing during oading, there is a continuous outsurge from the pressurizer resulting from coolant traction. The pressurizer heaters limit the resulting system pressure decrease. The ssurizer water level is programmed such that the water level is above the setpoint for ter cut out during the loading and unloading transients. The primary concern during ding is to limit the overshoot in nuclear power and to provide sufficient margin in the rtemperature T setpoint.
automatic load controls are designed to adjust the unit generation to match load uirements within the limits of the unit capability and licensed rating.
ing rapid loading transients, a drop in reactor coolant temperature is sometimes used ncrease core power. This mode of operation is applied when the control rods are not erted deep enough into the core to supply all the reactivity requirements of the rapid d increase (the boron control system is relatively ineffective for rapid power changes).
reduction in temperature is initiated by continued turbine loading past the point ere the control rods are completely withdrawn from the core. The temperature drop is overed and nominal conditions restored by a boron dilution operation.
core axial power distribution is controlled during the reduced temperature return to er by placing the control rods in the manual mode when the operating limits are roached. Placing the rods in manual will stop further changes in , and it will also ate the required drop in coolant temperature. Normally, power distribution control is required during a rapid power increase, and the rods will be manually positioned to top of the core. The bite position is reestablished at the end of the transient by reasing the coolant boron concentration.
.2.5 Load Rejection Furnished By Steam Dump System en a load rejection occurs, if the difference between the required temperature point of the RCS and the actual average temperature exceeds a predetermined ount, a signal will actuate the steam dump to maintain the RCS temperature within trol range until a new equilibrium condition is reached.
7.7-33 Rev. OL-21 5/15
tem. When a load rejection occurs, the rods automatically insert to reduce reactor er. The steam dump flow reduction is as fast as RCCAs are capable of inserting ative reactivity.
rod control system can then reduce the reactor temperature to a new equilibrium ue without causing overtemperature and/or overpressure conditions. The nominal am dump steam flow capacity to the condenser is 40 percent of full load steam flow at load steam pressure.
steam dump flow decreases proportionally as the control rods act to reduce the rage coolant temperature. The artificial load is therefore removed as the coolant rage temperature is restored to its programmed equilibrium value.
dump valves are modulated by the reactor coolant average temperature signal. The uired number of steam dump valves can be tripped quickly to stroke full open or dulate, depending upon the magnitude of the temperature error signal resulting from s of load.
.2.6 Turbine-Generator Trip With Reactor Trip enever the turbine-generator unit trips at an operating power level above 50-percent er, the reactor also trips. The unit is operated with a programmed average perature as a function of load, with the full load average temperature significantly ater than the equivalent saturation pressure of the steam generator safety valve point. The thermal capacity of the reactor coolant system is greater than that of the ondary system, and because the full load average temperature is greater than the load temperature, a heat sink is required to remove heat stored in the reactor coolant revent actuation of steam generator safety valves for a trip from full power. This heat k is provided by the combination of controlled release of steam to the condenser and makeup of feedwater to the steam generators.
steam dump system is controlled from the reactor coolant average temperature nal whose setpoint values are programmed as a function of turbine load. Actuation of steam dump is rapid to prevent actuation of the steam generator safety valves.
h the dump valves open, the average coolant temperature starts to reduce quickly to no-load setpoint. A direct feedback of temperature acts to proportionally close the ves to minimize the total amount of steam which is bypassed.
feedwater flow is cut off following a reactor trip when the average coolant perature decreases below a given temperature or when the steam generator water el reaches a given high level.
itional feedwater makeup is then controlled manually to restore and maintain steam erator water level while assuring that the reactor coolant temperature is at the 7.7-34 Rev. OL-21 5/15
troller (manually selected), which controls the amount of steam flow to the densers. This controller operates a portion of the same steam dump valves to the densers, which are used during the initial transient following turbine and reactor trip.
pressurizer pressure and level fall rapidly during the transient because of coolant traction. The pressurizer water level is programmed so that the level following the ine and reactor trip is above the heaters. However, if the heaters become uncovered owing the trip, the chemical and volume control system will provide full charging flow estore water level in the pressurizer. Heaters are then turned on to restore ssurizer pressure to normal.
steam dump and feedwater control systems are designed to prevent the average lant temperature from falling below the programmed no-load temperature following trip to ensure adequate reactivity shutdown margin.

1 INTRODUCTION s appendix provides an evaluation of the instrumentation to assess plant and environs ditions following an accident. The plant instrumentation and features provided in the laway Plant have resulted from detailed design evaluations and reviews. Design tures that enable the plant to be taken to cold shutdown while utilizing only ety-grade equipment are described in Appendix 5.4A, Cold Shutdown. Chapter 18.0 vides a comparison of the Callaway design to the requirements of NUREG-0737.
ce most of the instrumentation in the Callaway Plant was purchased and installed r to the issuance of Regulatory Guide 1.97, Revision 2, strict compliance to the many scriptive recommendations is not provided in all cases. However, the Callaway rumentation and control room design is adequate to allow the operators to evaluate mitigate the consequences of postulated accidents.
s appendix provides a detailed comparison of the Callaway design to the ommendations contained in the regulatory guide.

3 CALLAWAY DESIGN BASIS COMPARISON TO REGULATORY GUIDE 1.97 Callaway design bases are stated throughout the FSAR. The discussions provided ow summarize the Callaway design bases as they pertain to the salient ommendations of the regulatory guide. Appropriate references to other FSAR tions are provided in Table 7A-3 for more detailed information. The discussions ow are intended to aid the review of the Callaway design bases for compliance with intent of the regulatory guide recommendations.
3.1 TYPE A VARIABLES iables classified as Type A for the Callaway design are identified in Table 7A-2. The son for the classification is provided on the corresponding data sheet in Table 7A-3.
following criteria are the bases for identification of Type A variables for the Callaway nt. The terminology used in the discussion is consistent with that of the generic ergency Response Guidelines (ERGs) for Westinghouse plants, which were mitted to the NRC by Westinghouse Owners Group letter OG-64, dated vember 30, 1981.
- a. Variables used for event diagnosis are classified as Type A because these variables direct the operator to the appropriate Optimal Recovery Guidelines (formerly termed Emergency Operating Instructions) or to monitoring of critical Safety Functions.
- b. Variables used by the operator to perform manual actions prescribed by the Optimal Recovery Guidelines, which are associated with Condition IV events (LOCA, MSLB, and SGTR), are classified as Type A. Condition I, II and III events are not considered in identifying Type A variables (e.g.,
Spurious Safety Injection).
- c. Variables which identify the need for operator action to correct single failures are not classified as Type A. These actions are often identified as "Notes" or "Contingency Actions" in the ERGs.
- d. Variables associated with operator actions required for events not currently in the design bases of the plant are not identified as Type A variables.
3.2 REDUNDANCY AND DIVERSITY FOR CATEGORY 1 VARIABLES following discussion summarizes salient points of the design with respect to the ulatory recommendations:
7A-2 Rev. OL-19 5/12
available to the operator to make appropriate decisions, assuming a single failure. This is done on a system, loop, or component basis, as appropriate. For the steam generator heat sink function and pressurizer, it was done on a component basis. For the reactor and reactor coolant loops, it was done on a system basis due to the abundance of diverse or associated variables which are available to indicate the nature of the event and identify its cause.
- b. Diverse variables are considered to be those which vary directly with or have a direct relation with the primary variable. Associated variables are those which, when considered with the primary and/or diverse variables, aid in the identification and evaluation of events and the status of the plant.
- c. The need for a third reading or a diverse variable is based on the control room operators' need for the identification of the proper recovery from an event. Diversity is not provided solely for TSC/EOF use, accident reconstruction, or range not associated with DBEs.
- d. Since the need for a diverse variable arises upon the single failure of the primary instrumentation and that failure must result in ambiguity (e.g., the instrument fails in midscale, not offscale high or low), diverse variables may be performance or commercial grade. Many diverse variables are qualified as Class 1E for reasons other than their diversity function.
- e. Items identified as diverse variables are not considered to be part of the post-accident monitoring data base and are not included in the Emergency Response Facility Data Base solely for that purpose. Many diverse variables are part of the post-accident monitoring data base because of their primary function. Since it is highly unlikely that a variable will be required for a diversity function, the EOF/TSC may contact the control room should the need arise.
- f. There are no unique PAMS identifiers on the control panels. Emergency operating procedures provide sufficient direction to post-accident monitors that should be used. Regulatory Position C.1.4 was deleted in Revision 3 of Regulatory Guide 1.97.
3.3 RECORDERS dicated recorders are required only where trend information is immediately required operator use. The current value (indicated) of the PAMs variables is normally used by operator for decision-making purposes. Where Class 1E indicators are provided for ety-related Category 1 and Category 2 parameters at Callaway, as discussed in tion 7A.3.7 and justified in the individual data sheets of Table 7A-3, recorders may be formance grade.
7A-3 Rev. OL-19 5/12
rument ranges have been determined, considering the function(s) of the sensed ameters. The installed instrumentation may meet the ranges recommended in the ulatory guide, meet the intent of the recommended range, or have a range ropriate for the design function. Instrumentation that has an appropriate range is ntified on Table 7A-2. The ranges are justified on the individual data sheets of le 7A-3.
3.5 UNNECESSARY VARIABLES eral variables listed in the regulatory guide are not necessary for post-accident nitoring for the Callaway Plant. Table 7A-2 identifies which variables are considered ecessary from a post-accident monitoring standpoint, and the individual data sheets vide a discussion justifying the determination.
3.6 QUALIFICATION FOR CATEGORY 1 PARAMETERS les 7A-2 and 7A-3 show that instrumentation for all variables designated as egory 1 by the NRC and those designated as Type A herein are qualified as Class 1E m the sensor to the indicator.
alification of these devices was documented in the SNUPPS NUREG-0588 submittal ch was provided to the NRC in March 1983. All Class 1E equipment is qualified in ordance with Regulatory Guide 1.89, and Regulatory Guide 1.100 as discussed in pendix 3A.
3.7 QUALIFICATION FOR CATEGORY 2 PARAMETERS Callaway design utilizes Class 1E and non-Class 1E sensors, transmitters, cators, and power sources. There is no qualification category between these two egories, as implied by the Category 2 terminology of the regulatory guide.
le 7A-2 shows that many of the Category 2 items are in fact fully qualified to Class 1E ironmental and seismic requirements. These items exceed the regulatory ommendations.
non-Class 1E instruments are termed performance grade. These items are chased to perform in their anticipated service environments for the plant conditions in ch they must function. The regulatory guide implies that they must function in the ident environment for the area in which they are located without consideration of the ign function. If an instrument has to function following an accident, it is fully qualified lass 1E requirements. If the instrument is not required following an accident, it is med non-safety-related and purchased to performance grade requirements. The ipment service conditions are provided in the purchase specification and include iation levels and integrated doses, temperature, relative humidity, and other special 7A-4 Rev. OL-19 5/12
ety. Table 7A-3 addresses the function of performance grade items in Category 2.
n-Class 1E equipment is supplied from Separation Groups 5 and 6, which are highly able (refer to Section 8.3.1.3). The non-Class 1E 125 V dc buses are backed by the ergency diesel generators.
the purpose of compliance to the regulatory requirements for seismic qualification for s identified as Category 2, the sensors/transmitters continued operation is not umed to be required, since the indicators need not be qualified. Assurance of ssure boundary integrity during and after seismic events is ensured for safety-related tems. No seismic requirements are placed on items in non-safety-related systems.
3.8 QUALIFICATION FOR CATEGORY 3 ITEMS Category 3 qualification guidelines of the regulatory guide imply a possible need to ure that the instrument sensor and transmitter are qualified for an accident ironment. Table 7A-2 identifies those Category 3 instruments located inside the tainment, and the appropriate data sheet of Table 7A-3 justifies the lack of t-accident qualification.

ince the sensors/transmitters are part of the pressure boundary, they are designed to remain intact following an SSE; however, functionality is not assured.
he RHR injection phase runout flow is limited to 4,428 gpm. The range of FT-618 and 619 is 0 to 5,500 gpm. The RHR hot leg recirculation flow is 2,662 gpm for one RHR pump perating. The range of FT-988 is 0 to 4,500 gpm.
rain A flow (FT-618) and temperatures (TE-604 and 612) are recorded on TR-612. Train B flow (FT-619) and temperatures (TE-605 and 613) are recorded on TR-613. The heat xchanger inlet temperatures are not considered to be part of the Regulatory Guide 1.97 data base.
he RHR heat exchanger outlet temperature range from 50°F to 400°F is adequate to monitor any expected conditions leaving the heat exchanger. The minimum temperature of he RHR system will be 60°F in the long term following an accident due to the automatic temperature control on the CCW system, which provides cooling water to the RHR heat xchanger. The air-operated temperature control valve which bypasses flow around the CCW heat exchanger is a safety-related qualified valve; however, it is supplied by a onsafety-related instrument air system. This system will most likely be available during the long term following an accident, and it may be loaded onto the emergency diesel enerator.
this automatic control is not available, many options exist for operator action to control the CCW and/or RHR temperatures and flows to maintain a minimum RHR heat exchanger utlet temperature at or above 50°F; therefore, the existing range of the outlet temperature indicators is adequate. With the given decay heat, it would take several days for the utlet temperature to approach the low end of the currently monitored range. With operators periodically monitoring RCS water temperature after an accident, it is not deemed redible for the outlet temperature to fall below 50°F with no remedial actions being taken by the operating staff. As evidenced by the Revision 3 change to the low end of the range from 32°F to 40°F), it is Callaway's position that this required range is arbitrary and not based on plant-specific requirements for post-accident monitoring.

ccumulator tank level and pressure indication are unnecessary variables and need not be provided for post-accident monitoring. Therefore, Category 2 instruments are not equired. Remark 3 provides additional justification. Remarks 4 and 5 discuss the available pressure and level monitors and their ranges. These remarks also address the dequacy of the existing ranges when compared to the recommended ranges of Table 2 of Regulatory Guide 1.97. Since these variables are unnecessary, the comparison is rovided only for information.
able 2 of Regulatory Guide 1.97 lists accumulator pressure and level under Type D variables which are defined therein as: "Type D Variables: Those variables that provide nformation to indicate the operation of individual safety systems and other systems important to safety. These variables are to help the operator make appropriate decisions in sing the individual systems important in mitigating the consequences of an accident."
ccumulator level and pressure indication do not provide information which is relevant to the defined purpose of a Type D variable. The accumulators are designed to passively nject water into the RCS when the primary pressure falls below the accumulator cover gas pressure (602 to 648 psig per Technical Specifications). The nitrogen cover gas would ot be injected until much lower pressures (around 300 psig) are reached. Since the discharge of water from the accumulators is beneficial for transients resulting from RCS breaks, he accumulator discharge valves are locked open and cannot be opened from the control room. Section 15.6 provides RCS depressurization curves for various size LOCAs. The ccumulators inject water for all LOCAs analyzed except for the 3-inch LOCA wherein the analysis was terminated at 2500 seconds.
Rev. OL-21 5/15
DATA SHEET 3.2 (Continued)
EMARKS (Continued) the operator had determined that there is no further need or potential need for accumulator water injection and he desired to preclude the addition of nitrogen during the long-term OCA recovery phase and if the RCS pressure had not dropped below 300 psig, the operator may vent the accumulators and/or isolate the discharge of the accumulators by irecting the power breakers to be unlocked (outside the control room), provided that this action would not violate any procedures.
or a LOCA, there is no need to determine if accumulator water has been injected. If water has been injected, it was needed or at least not adverse to the core.
hould there be a question as to whether the accumulators actually discharged nitrogen into a depressurized but relatively intact primary system, the operator could utilize the ressure and RV level indication to determine if nitrogen was in the pressurizer or the vessel head. These areas can be vented from the control room, it is deemed appropriate.
ther Condition IV events (SGTR and MSLB) do not result in RCS depressurization transients which result in discharge of accumulator nitrogen into the RCS. For these events, the perating staff will isolate or depressurize the accumulators prior to proceeding to a cold shutdown condition. The operating staff has two variables available to them to indicate the uccessful completion of this action: valve position of the accumulator discharge valves and valve position of the nitrogen vent valves. The operator is capable of isolating or epressurizing the accumulators even with an assumed single failure. Therefore, the accumulator level and pressure indications are unnecessary for these events as well as a OCA.
he range of the accumulator tank pressure transmitter is adequate to monitor any expected pressure in the accumulator. The maximum pressure allowed by the plant Technical pecification is 648 psig. No fluid addition to the tank is expected following an accident due to the check valve in the discharge line from each accumulator. Therefore, there is no eed to extend the pressure indication beyond the present 700 psig range.
he recommended range of level indication from 10 to 90 percent of tank volume is unnecessary. The plant Technical Specifications require that the content of the tank be aintained within a very narrow range (6061 to 6655 gallons). The instrumentation provided monitors the level of the tank for a span of 13 inches in which the normal level is aintained. Monitoring the level above the Technical Specification value is not required because fluid addition following an accident is not postulated.
onitoring the levels between the present range and the recommended range of 10 percent of tank volume is not required because the addition of water contained in that volume, s noted previously, is beneficial and of no concern following an accident.

he four narrow range level transmitters on each loop are fully qualified and are considered to be a Type A variable per the assumptions stated in Section 7A.3.1. The narrow range ansmitters are used to identify a steam generator tube rupture.
he narrow range instruments provide diverse indications within their range (437 to 587 inches above the tube sheet) and would indicate the failure (high or low) of a wide range nstrument.
Wide range steam generator level measurement meets the intent of the single failure criterion for Category 1 variables by virtue of independent, diverse variables. In the Callaway mergency procedures, auxiliary feedwater (AFW) flow, reactor coolant pressure, and reactor coolant temperature indications are diverse variables which are used to determine hether adequate core cooling is provided in the absence of wide range level indication on one steam generator. The Callaway design of having one wide range level indicator, in onjunction with one AFW flow indicator, per steam generator is consistent with NUREG-0737 Item II.E.1.2 for Westinghouse plants (see Section 18.2.8.1).

ote that proper RHR functions during the recirculation mode are provided by other variables described on data sheet 3.1.
he Callaway SER (NUREG-0830) in Section 6.2.1.1 (page 6-4) indicates that the NRC Staff agrees that this variable is not necessary and finds this exception to the guidelines of egulatory Guide 1.97 acceptable.
he Callaway SER also addresses the containment heat removal systems and similarly finds them acceptable. Page 6-10 indicates that the RHR system serves to remove heat om the containment during the recirculation mode following a LOCA by cooling the containment sump fluid in the RHR heat exchanger. During this mode of operation, the RHR nlet temperature monitors described on Data Sheet 3.1 would provide indication of the containment sump water temperature. As noted on Data Sheet 3.1, the RHR heat exchanger nlet temperature is not considered to be part of the Regulatory Guide 1.97 data base.

EMARKS uantification of the amount of heat being removed by the containment fan coolers is an unnecessary variable and is not provided for Callaway. The accomplishment of post-ccident heat removal is verified by monitoring the operation of the fan coolers and monitoring the containment pressure and air temperature. Containment pressure and air emperature monitors are described on Data Sheets 6.1 and 6.5.
onitoring of containment air cooler operation is provided by three sets of indications, all of which are safety-related and qualified for post-accident operation. These items do ndicate that the air coolers are operating; however, they do not quantify the amount of heat being removed from the containment atmosphere.
he handswitches for each containment air cooler fan are provided with lights which indicate the mode of operation (stop, slow, or fast) for each containment air cooler.
he ESF status panel indicates whether the fan coolers are being provided with power (control and fan power supply). If the control fuse blows or if the power breaker trips, a red ouble light appears on one of the ESF status panel windows "Ctmt Cooler Fan SGN01A (B, C or D)." Also, an audio alarm is generated.
he containment isolation valves serving each set of two containment air coolers are also provided with Class 1E hand indication switches in the control room. These position witches indicate that the isolation valves are open and that the lines to each cooler are capable of passing the cooling water flow. Since the containment isolation valves are ormally open and receive a confirmatory open signal on the receipt of a safety injection signal, the ESF status panel also contains windows for these valves. A red light will appear nd an audio alarm will be sounded if any valve fails to take its post-accident position (open).
n Callaway, the heat removal capability of the containment air coolers is accurately determined by sophisticated mathematical and computer modeling developed by the air cooler upplier. The accuracy of the model was verified during the prototype testing of three different coils at three different post-accident pressures. Topical Report AAF-TR-7101 Rev. OL-21 5/15

Reference 1 of FSAR Section 6.2.2.3) provides a comparison of the measured heat removal during the tests to the computer analysis predictions. The comparisons show very lose agreement between the predicted and actual heat removal abilities. The NRC has approved the topical report for reference in construction permit and operating license pplications.
uring the transient of an accident, heat removal by air coolers cannot be used by an operator, since too many variables are changing rapidly. The amount of energy released to the ontainment cannot be accurately quantified. Heat removal mechanisms are those identified in Section 6.2.1 and include heat transfer to passive heat sinks, containment sprays, nd containment air coolers. The operator must determine what equipment is operating and watch the changes in containment pressure, temperature, sump level, and radiation evels to determine the nature of the accident.
he operability of the air coolers is verified periodically throughout the life of the plant in accordance with Technical Specification Paragraph 4.6.2.3, which ensures the proper peration of the system.

he safety grade letdown system is located within the containment, and the containment isolation system is designed to preclude inadvertent discharge from the containment.
he recycle holdup tank levels (LT-261 and LT-262) have a range from the top to bottom of the tank and indications are provided in the radwaste building control room. Since the ystem will only be operated from that room, the control room operators may obtain that status of the tanks from the radwaste building control room personnel. The liquid radwaste ystem need not be operated during an accident. It may be used during recovery, if the radwaste building is habitable.
s noted on Data Sheet 13.2, the auxiliary building and ECCS pump room sumps are provided with Class 1E sump level indication. These sumps would collect any long-term eakage from systems which recirculate fluids from the containment sump. As described in Section 9.3.3 and shown on Figure 9.3-6, Sheet 2, the discharge lines from these sumps ontain Class 1E isolation valves which close on a SIS to preclude inadvertent discharge of fluids to the floor drain tank in the radwaste building.

ddition of radioactive gases to the gaseous radwaste system following an accident is precluded by design and is not postulated. Containment isolation valves on gas bearing lines om the pressurizer relief tank and the reactor coolant drain tank close upon receipt of a CIS-A. Refer to Remark 5 on Data Sheet 14.1 for a further discussion of containment solation. Since there will be no containment gases added to the gaseous radwaste system, there is no need to monitor the available storage capacity following an accident.
he design pressure of each of the eight GDTs is 150 psig. Each tank is provided with a pressure transmitter/indicator/alarm. The indicators are located in the radwaste building ontrol room and have a range of 0 to 150 psig. The alarms for the six GDTs used during normal operation are set at 100 psig. Two of the GDTs are used for shutdown and start-
- p. All GDTs are provided with relief valves set at or below the tank's design pressure. The relief valves for the six GDTs discharge at design pressure to the shutdown GDTs which re normally at low pressure. Should an extended discharge to the shutdown GDT occur, a high alarm (at 90 psig) would be received prior to the lifting of the shutdown GDT relief alve at 100 psig. The discharge from the radwaste building vent is monitored by the radwaste building vent monitor described on Data Sheet 12.1. Failure of one of these tanks as been analyzed in FSAR Section 15.7.1.
ased upon the protection afforded by the installed tank relief valves and the potential eventual release to the radwaste building vent, the span of 0 to tank design pressure is dequate to provide information to the operating staff concerning the status of the GDTs.

For liquids, provisions should be made for sampling from l-mixed turbulent zones, and sampling lines should be designed to minimize plateout eposition. For safe and convenient sampling, the provisions should include:
- a. Shielding to maintain radiation doses ALARA
- b. Sample containers with container-sampling port connector compatibility
- c. Capability of sampling under primary system pressure and negative pressures
- d. Handling and transport capability
- e. Prearrangement for analysis and interpretation nimum of two monitors at widely separated locations.
